Last year the most successful post on this blog was 45 Best Freeware Design Programs on PC - a hand picked list of free design programs for the PC. Now the time has come for MAC fans. The funny thing is, before starting I thought “well maybe It won’t be as prolific as the PC list since Mac has a smaller piece of the share market cake”. But as a pleasant surprise the scene for free design applications in mac is as interesting as the PC’s - maybe not as big, but as varied and of good quality.

Indeed you will find at least one excellent option in many designs fields. Like Maya for 3D animation, Archicad for Building modeling, or GIMP and Inkspace for bitmap and vector editing. Definitely worth checking out. Sure it is not going to be the Adobe Creative Suit Killer but I am quite sure you will find some pearls out there.

Flash Image Zoomer is a nice free application that allows you to zoom an image and navigate it via its embed navigation window. The setup is as easy as 1-2-3 because the image is defined as an external parameter, making it easy to install the zoomer in the CMS or eCommerce Application of your choice. And for those using the most widespread and great CMS/Blog platform, aka Wordpress (Yes I am a WP Fan :)) it is just easy to do it through the WP-SWFObject Plugin and then using a simple tag markup you can call the aplication and indicate the location of the image.

You don’t need to be a mac fan to love the Mac OSX fisheye menu effect. This kind of menu has a lot of eye candy and it’s especially useful to arrange both long lists in small spaces and giving a “physical” user interaction to the interface.
