Whether you’re of an age where you can remember computers with only a handful of colours and pixels the size of house brick, or if you simply appreciate a bit of old-skool graphical minimalism, it's hard to resist the charms of a bit of chunky pixel art.
And here's an iPad app that gives the business of making your own pixel masterpieces a lovely modern twist. Created by indie game developer Luke Rogers, Pixaki's billed as a pixel editor designed with professionals in mind, and it packs a decent set of features to ease your creative processes. Working on a canvas up to a whopping 512x512 pixels in size, you can build your own 16 colour palette with an intuitive hue picker and work with up to 20 layers.
