698 Designs

For over 6 years now in my career I have had the great experience to be using an Apple G5 for more the 90% of all the work and play I do on a daily basis.  It has allowed me to manage heavy print design, when the files are from 250MB to almost 2 GB in size the G5 has worked on like a trooper.  The 6 GB of DDR SDRAM has allowed Photoshop and Illustrator to work with some big art pieces I do when using my Wacom Table to draw and paint as well as heavy layer effects on large amounts of layers in any given file.

This is hands down, one of the best tools I use daily.  The total ability to transfer my thoughts to the computer...with a pen tool of course.

  This 19"x12" tablet is an exelant tool for me to draw, perform photo touch ups and color corrections, photo munipulation and so much more.  The drawing aspect is the probly the greatest part simply due to the fact that I can draw directly to the computer and not have to scan anything and then spend time to clean and prepare the image for what ever I have to do for the project.

 Hands down one of my Favs in my tool bag!

 

 This is my most trusted tool in the real world.  The Staedtler MARS 780 Lead holder. Holds 2mm HB lead, built in sharpener, pocket clip, cross hatched grip area and smooth machincal action for releasing more lead.  Has a nice wait to it and feels good to draw or write with.

 

 Paper on the other hand will vary depending on what type of project is being done and or if I need to scan anything digitaly for continued production.

This Little USB scanner is awsome for its size and abilities.

•Scans up to a resolution of 4800 x 9600 color dpi.

•48-bit color depth yields over 281 trillion possible colors.

•Scan film slides

•Can position it any way on the desk, standing, flat (of course)

In the end for the price and what I can make this thing do is well worth it for any project I might tackle needing a scan.
