  • If you want to be a great graphic designer, you've got to have great tools. 7 Gadgets and Tools Every Graphic Designer Needs
    Graphic Designers use a lot of different tools to get their work done. Here are some graphic design tools you'll need at some point. Graphic Design Gadgets and tools are an important part of working efficiently and effectively. These Graphic Design Gadgets are things that I use on a daily or weekly basis and I wanted to share them with my fellow graphic design pros to help you increase productivity. What tools do you use for graphic design?
    I've been doing graphic design and have wasted thousands of dollars of cheap equipment only to have to replace it over and over again, my list is curated after learning the hard way what is quality and what is not when it comes to graphic design gadgets.

      I WILL NEVER BUY ADOBE, fudge them. If you want a good quality digital art program that is one time payment and doesnt feel like a bloody highway robbery (i'm talking to you adobe!!!) then buy Clipstudio Paint, you can do a monthly/annual sub for it if you want their cloud servers (also available on android and ios) which is useful if you wanna draw on the go with an android/apple phone and continue on your laptop in the cafe or on your pc at home. or you can just pay once to get a lifetime program, its freaking amazing. i use Clipstudio Paint EX along with Procreate (Ipad pro) for all of my digital art needs, i dont need anything else, especially nothing from adobe.

      You know I used to have the same mindset in school, until I got in the real world and clients wanted 3-5 days turnarounds. It saves times that’s all. I will say these tools are awesome but if you can’t design or draw these won’t help much.

    Hello, I am 20 and currently in my junior year of college. The pandemic stopped me from physically going to school so I was no longer able to utilize the library and all of its software, and I was not sure what gadgets I needed for future jobs and internships. This video gave me an idea to plan of what I needed so can make budget and create steps for myself to get these gadgets.
    Thanks for the video man!

    I am personally very disenchanted with adobe products. I only pay for it because it’s the “industry standard.” There are so many open source options and pay once alternatives (like the affinity suite) that are very competitive if not just as good imo. On another note, I recommend buying the ssd and external enclosure separately. You’ll save money and you can easily swap out drives or enclosures if anything is ever damaged. A NAS would be another good addition for long term storage and backups.

    I probably can't afford to get tons of these stuffs but I know with time i will 😊.
    I think one important thing to own also is a "blue lens glass"(I'm not entirely sure that's what they're called but it's the best description of it I could give😊). It helps with the eye strain that comes from looking at the screen for a long period of time. Sounds pretty basic but it really helps.

    • @adrianboysel
      @adrianboysel  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I think ultimately a mouse will only give you a certain amount of accuracy. If you need more, I would suggest a Wacom Cintiq. As far as mouses go, I've tried roller balls, track pads, and tradidional mouses and they are all about the same for me so I just went the traditional router with my apple mouse. Sometime I only use the trackpad and have become really use to that after 5 years.

Even though you don't have the latest models, as long as you got enough RAM and storage space to download and run the apps you need. And If I can add something to that list it would be either a good pair of earphone/noise cancelling headphones/ or a speaker - to listen to music or some audiobook while you work. helps me focus...

    For what I do, which is not professional right now... yet 😎, all I need is my iPad Pro with pencil, MacBook Pro and the software I use is Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. I don’t pay for membership and I still have what I need. I don’t pay for creative cloud not because I don’t like it. It’s just that I’d be using very few features for the price. Affinity Suite has all I need.

    I’m a self-taught designer and agree with a few of the things you’ve said. However, why would you recommend a Galaxy phone when everything else you use seems to be going the way of Apple? Wouldn’t it make more sense to just make the jump to an iPhone for 100% cross-platform comparability? I say this because I like to airdrop myself everything I do when I’m doing work on-the-go / proofing my work. I find it really helpful. Other than that, great vid!

      Hi Carter, thanks for saying hello! Appreciate your feedback very much. I totally get where you are coming from and that makes sense, I had a bad experience with an apple phone and the Galaxy Note has always been so reliable and I love the customization and control. Have been thinking of switching back again but Apple hasnt really done anything truly innovative since Steve Jobs passed. So I'm kind over waiting for the next big phone from them.

      @carter, your point is valid and would be more valid if not for Apples convoluted file system. its just not that friendly to. those trying to manage their files on the device. i love my ipad, but file transferring for both graphics and music production are a legit nightmare unless you get 3rd party software to make it function more like android or pc (just my opinion)

    Nice insight into technology gadgets to consider for the graphic design field. While it would be great to have the latest technology for your graphic design profession, for those that may be on a budget such as students, you may want to consider purchasing an older model used/refurbished fully working MacBook Pro. My older model MacBook and MacBook Pro still thankfully work just fine with Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign and Flash. I don't use any other Adobe programs so I wouldn't know how they would respond being used on a older MacBook/Macbook Pro. As long as the files are not too large and data intensive, the computer should be adequate enough to operate the above listed Adobe programs especially if you update the RAM which is fairly inexpensive. The computer may not be the fastest but it should suffice to get you by. You can always upgrade to something newer and more powerful in the future when/if your finances permit it. Just thought Id share what has worked well for me. All the best to everyone. Thanks for sharing.

      @@adrianboysel Not a problem at all, glad I could help. I would also recommend purchasing an external hard drive enclosure so you can swap in/out hard drives that can also be installed internally into your laptop. I find the enclosure to be more flexible than a standard sealed external hard drive since you can choose exactly what specifications you want out of your hard drive and it can fulfill a duel role purpose as an external/internal hard drive. As long as you frequent Time Machine updates, if ever your hard drive crashes, you can easily swap out the hard drive from the enclosure and use that as an internal hard drive with your Time Machine update in tact.

    • @adrianboysel
      @adrianboysel  3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      this is a very good question, just depends on what type of budget you have. I personally love the iPad Pro with the pen. A 2 in 1 is a more affordable option and you get both in one device (less the carry), it comes down to budget and yes it will be much better than the 10+ either way you go. Thanks for sharing your question!

    I'm thinking about getting my daughter a Wacom or X-pen, and was just thrown a serious curve ball as i thought the display ones were all i needed for her. She's a graphics design college student Junior. The curve ball was that she needs a computer for this. I thought it was its own freaking thing. 🤦🏾‍♂️. Anyway she has a laptop, but listening to all the many videos and other reach, is it absolitely necessary to ensure she has a top computer to connect it to? Will a lesser computer downgrade the level of possibility with the nicer display tablet? Do i need to have a laptop with just as much high grade bells and Whistles to keep up with the tablet?
    As it seems just buying her a freaking car might be cheaper 😱
