I bought a tablet
and this morning I've been clumsily navigating my way 'round my software and the net. takes a bit of getting used to. That's fuckin' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss fuckin' watch.

Yer I struggled with mine at first, due to wanting to spin it as thought it were paper so I could draw angles easier. Very good thing to have ocne you get used to it. even tried playing a few gaes with it just for abit of fun. |

Presumably you can have any number of input devices hooked up to the usb chain and simply use whichever one takes your fancy, right? A tablet would go down well with me as I've found myself reintroducing organic illustration into my output. I'm thinking an A4 would be a practical minimum for anyone planning to use it for freehand (the manner, not the app) illustration. Would A4 be about right? |

tablet
I brought a tablet, couple of years back, quite cheaply, it was about £20.00 ($36.00) brand new, just an unknown sorta brand, its an only an A4 size on though. I would imagine a huge A2 board would be great, loads of space to draw. They really a useful invention imo, a real nice piece of kit, especially aiding in graphics creation. I think there's quite few brands of tablets out there now, all offering pretty much the same thing, but quite cheap. I can remember a time when tablets were unheard of and cost a fortune, times have changed!  |

A5 does the job for me - even for drawing! might upgrade to A4 at some point but it's at the bottom of my list. Bill: don't know about other makes but on Wacoms you can redefine the active area - so if you find the size "too big" you can customise it. .. A5 might be too small with 2 monitors though... any experience anyone?? ...

A5 would probably be too small for duel monitor, unless you had one set-up for each monitor, two A5's, but then they would both separately so I don't think it would be much use. There are usually some good tablets to buy on eBay it’s always worth a look in case ex stock or something selling.  Wacom Ultra A2 Tablet spec here .. |

I agree with cam........ very dull thread about designer tools as opposed to designer drugs......i bought fifty tablets recently. only cost a pound each. they stop you from working almost completely and make you pull some smashing gurning faces !!!!! Bah !! |

I had a blazing row with the missus for telling her I'm gonna get off my tits on magic mushrooms while hiking down the north east coastline for a few days in a couple of weeks. So much for being honest. That's fuckin' ingenious, if I understand it correctly. It's a Swiss fuckin' watch.

'don't sigh for me Mr Posters' 'twas the line underneath where the slight humour was to be found. As in : 'what's her problem with the North East coastline ?' Do you see ? Methinks it's subtlety was it's undoing..... or it was just plain shit !! Maybe i should go home and lie down ? |
