Create your own digital clock

This may sound strange, but turning your iPad into a digital clock can add some much-needed modernism to your living

room or kitchen. If you are careful with how you manage the power (with regards to battery health), you can create a

stunning effect that works as a useful and aesthetically pleasing object.

Present your family history

How many photos are stored on your iPhone? Hundreds? Thousands? Well, no matter how many there are, you can use your

home improvement project to do something special with your favourites. It will involve printing them, which may feel alien these

days, but the end result could become the main focus of your new and improved living room...

1

Fit the frame

Create a new album in Photos, and

decide which images you want to use for a

new family frame. Take note of the number of

landscape and portrait slots in the frame.

2

Add some creativity

Color Splash is a superb app for quickly

adding touches of colour to your images. It

makes each photo black and white instantly –

ready for you to make your mark.

3

Enjoy your work

If you do not own a printer, most printing

stores will print multiple photos very cheaply.

The end result could surprise you,and become

a special addition to your home.

Just one app

The Clocks: Alarm, World

Clock – is a versatile option

that offers clean and large

clock faces on your iPad,

with the ability to use extra

functions and tomanage the

look in a variety of ways.

See the world

Tapping this icon lets you

view up to six time zones at

one time, and this can add a

sense of technical practicality

to any mantlepiece or shelf.

The effectis surprisingly

impressive on a larger iPad.

Save your screen

Within Settings you can

enable ‘Burn-in Protection’,

which will cycle the clock faces

over set periods of time.

This is like a slow moving

screensaver that should help

to save your screen from

permanent damage.

Mechanicalor quartz

This icon highlights the level of

detail that the developer has

put into the app, because you

can switch between mechanical

(sweeping seconds hand) to quartz

(tickingseconds hand) with just one

tap. It’s a pleasing extra touch.
