Brick up your life! App Store link (free)

With this small toy, you can transform your pics into LEGO bricks. Nothing more, nothing less.

This simple App lets you take photos and convert them into images made of LEGO bricks. Or you can just pick photos from your albums and do the same. Touching the screen will change the colours in a nice wave effect. And you can save your best creations in the photo album, so you can send them by mail, or post them in your blog.

Of course the App does it good. The wave effect is nice and makes the App not so plain. In the end you could ask yourself “Is that all there is?”. But the point here is more how a (free) App is a new way of marketing a product. Using an App for promotion is a clever and user-friendly way of circumventing usual publicity channels. And with the iPad coming soon, I’m sure this kind of Apps will proliferate.

But back to the fun, if you need a template for your next LEGO creation, give it a try.
