I took a short break from client work last month to work on my software projects. One of the apps that received some love was Vinyl Mockup (https://t.co/V9WvGrm6a9), a web based design tool you can use to mock up vinyl records. In addition to being purpose-built for this problem, Vinyl Mockup has over 400 vinyl variants from real record presses you can choose from. Thanks to those presses for providing the variants.
The first feature I added was the ability to toggle a shadow on and off. Now you can cast a shadow onto the floor below the vinyl record. You can also adjust the opacity of the shadow.
Then, I tackled the #1 requested feature: 2LP mockups. Pro users now have access to an โAdd Vinylโ button which allows them to add an additional record to their mockup. This second vinyl can have its own unique label image, vinyl variant design, opacity, and rotation. I now wait patiently for someone to ask for a 3rd LP.
Finally, I added the ability to change the background color of the mockup. Since launch, Vinyl Mockup actually exported a transparent background, and that's still an option, but now you can choose an opaque color background. Combined with shadows, you have a mockup image ready to post on your socials or online store.
Check out Vinyl Mockup today at https://t.co/pxFvh6Mzgh and let me know if you have any other ideas for features. Iโd especially like to hear from the designers actually doing this work.
When we speak to god, whether it be by prayer, letter, or subconscious, how do we know god is listening? We look for a sign like a lightning bolt or a bush bursting into flames. For @taylormomsen from @TPROfficial, these signs have seemed to take the form of wildlife encounters. While recently touring in Mexico with @acdc in support of The Pretty Recklessโ upcoming album โDear God,โ Taylor was bitten by a venomous spider but was treated quickly and able to return to stage. This comes after an incident in 2024 when she was also bitten by a bat while performing. Are these signs from god or simply the beginning of Taylorโs superhero origin story? We do not know.
In support of the new album, Iโve worked with @fearlessrecords to develop an experience that allows fans to write their own confessions or questions to god, utilizing the โDear Godโ prompt. During the submission process, we also encourage fans to sign up to the bandโs email and SMS list on @laylodotcom. These submissions are then visualized using @threejs in real-time as letters floating up into the heavens. (Inspired by the Hogwarts letters moment in Philosopher's Stone). At any point, you can grab a letter out of midair and read it before releasing it back on its journey. Those users who choose to submit their own letter are provided a story formatted video of their submission that they can share on socials. In addition, all submissions are stored in a database, and the client can choose to use any in OOH advertising.

I really like this setup for a submission campaign. Allow users to interpret a prompt and attempt to capture their data at the same time. Once they submit, visualize their contribution live for anyone else currently on the site to encourage participation. Then, provide them a piece of UGC and encourage them to share it in order to drive more users to the experience. Finally, store all of their contributions in a database and use them to build a world around the release online and IRL.
Many thanks to @fearlessrecords for the opportunity to build together. Dear God is out June 26.

Dear @ShopifySupport, My wife has been trying to change the owner of a brand new shop for over a week but she hasn't been able to get a clear indication of when support will be able to help her. The launch of the new shop is being held up by this. Can we please expedite? ๐
@ShopifySupport She built the shop using her own email but all of the business details are connected to the shop owner. She simply wants to swap owners but is being held up support and not being provided a timeline for resolution.

Today we're introducing Disc Zoom for @turnaudio Pro users. When turned on, this setting will zoom into your disc image by 3x. This really comes in handy when you use it alongside one of the 400+ vinyl variations we have available.
