Why not Sketch? Well, I do occasionally jump into Sketch, especially for pure vector wireframing. Running the latest version of Affinity Designer was a revelation, I’ve simply never wanted to switch back. I’d written an early review of Affinity Designer, I’d been impressed at the time, so I decided to give it another try expecting the sojourn to last an hour or two before I gravitated back to Illustrator. Then, around 18 months ago I got very frustrated with how sluggish Illustrator had become.
#CODEKIT AND MAMP SERVER ERROR PROFESSIONAL#
I’ve never had an issue with the subscription licensing of Creative Cloud, which I think is proportionate for a professional set of tools. Photoshop and Illustrator were the de facto graphic tools for half my life. These are the tools that I currently find enabling, that have contributed to my craft, and supported my approach. If I’d written this post a year ago the list would have been different, and I hope that in a year it will be different again. Thirdly a good tool is invisible, it leaves no marks on the end product. Secondly, a good tool offers flexibility in the techniques you choose. The danger of tools is that they promote certain techniques, and that bias can alter your approach.įirst and foremost a good tool does no harm, it does not dictate, or obstruct your approach. It wasn’t until I sat down to write a list of tools I can’t design without, that I realized just how many tools I rely on as an integral part of my creative process. I think of a creative practice as a combination of an approach (a design philosophy) and a series of techniques (craft skills) a good tool facilitates a technique, which in turn supports an approach.
