What Members are saying about prMac:
"prMac's writing service is first class. Ray quickly put together a first draft from the material I sent in and our web site and then responded immediately to my questions and suggestions. We soon had a professional looking press release that I was very pleased with. The Extended Distribution List, with over 200 entries, was far more extensive than any list I could have drawn up myself. Our web site traffic tripled on the day of release. Well worth the investment."

Imprimatura - Uncover Art Masterpieces on your iPhone
May 16, 2011 in Education
[prMac.com] Boulder, Colorado - In painting, the imprimatura is the ground layer of color hidden beneath all other layers. The iPhone game Imprimatura is an exploration of great artists where the player discovers masterpieces hidden like an imprimatura.
Imprimatura is based on a game of concentration, in which a player uncovers sections of an artwork by matching colors on an overlying grid of tiles. The player tries to identify the artist from only a few matches. This requires the player to look closely at the revealed areas of the artwork, considering stylistic elements such as brushwork, typical subject matter and other hints that might identify the artist.
Because there are several levels of difficulty, Imprimatura can be a both a challenge for knowledgeable art lovers and an educational tool for those who want to learn more about art and artists. For all players, it provides a transporting, aesthetic experience anywhere and at anytime they have their iPhones in hand.
Features include:
* A growing online database of paintings
* Paintings cropped to increase aesthetic impact on iPhone
* Automatic downloading of paintings as needed
* Automatic removal of paintings after game completion
* Local database of ten paintings for use when no Internet connection
* Nine school selections ranging from Gothic to Expressionism
* Three difficulty levels (easy, moderate, difficult)
* Basic information about painting (e.g, date, location)
* A short commentary on technical details in the painting, the significance of the painting in the artist's career and significance of the artist in art history
* All information resident in the Imprimatura app with no need to follow links to other websites
Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.2 or later
* 13.9 MB
