Hello,
(don't know if I post in the wrong place)
I've answer to an article on a another website this and want to share with you
:
I’m a ui/ ux designer (and CEO of my own very little company) and love to work on my iPad Pro.
My primary tool for UI design on my Mac is a very difficult choice for me : 3 years with sketch app, 1 year with adobe xd, try Figma and Invision Studio... (and always something missing or not good
Love to do some motion ui design for micro interaction etc and again, very hard to find my primary tool between motion 5, after effect, protopie, principle and Invision Studio.
Do some branding : logo, business card etc ... (for this I use affinity Designer or Illustrator but I'll explain this later)
And love to do some photo and video work. (for this I use Affinity photo or photoshop for photo and Final Cut + Motion 5 or After effect)
Adobe offer very powerful software suite but I hate the ergonomic of the adobe software ! And the monopoly of adobe in the design industry push me to use other product like affinity designer and affinity photo.
So, very hard for me to find my workflow and i’m a totally minimalist addict for many things. (especially design but with my personal life too
I really want to use only my iPad Pro and sell my MacBook Pro but lack 2 only tool : for UI Design and motion ui design
Here my iPad app and my wish:
_ Tweetbot, YouTube and podcast for my daily dose of article and video
_ Pinterest for mood board and designhunt for inspiration ( but wish for Milanote native app and Muzli native app)
_ rightfont or AnyFont to manage and install font (but for the moment I prefer right font)
_ (for the moment) Invision app or affinity designer to do my Wireframe / ux process
_ affinity designer for UI Design but here the problem ! wish for Invision Studio or Figma or sketch
_ And no ui motion tool !
_ Canva for rapid social network banner
_ affinity photo for bitmap work and photo work (and procreate to draw
_ photo app to manage my photo
_ iCloud Drive with the native file app
_ Google Drive for sharing file, Trello / slack and Skype for collaborative things
_ lumafusion for editing video
_ keynote and pages for presentation and text, note app and reminder app
_ Coda if I need to modify or see some code
_ (need to try omnigraffle )
=> Lack 2 major tool : Ui Design and motion ui design ! (invision Studio is still in beta and have some annoying bugs but UI design + motion are very good and they say to me on twitter they will release a full version of Invision Studio on iPad !!
(and for the moment I've the 10" iPad Pro and seem a little bit small, if the rumors are correct Apple will release a 11 inch in the same form factor)
So here you have the hardware need if you want to do the same things :
- iPad Pro 10” or 12” (wish for the 11 inch in the same form factor) with some storage like 128 or 256 (I like iCloud or dropbox but like to store on my iPad) and recommend the cellular version
- A cover (like the Apple cover because they are minimalist) + best skin ever for the back (or the Smart Keyboard option : very good keyboard but add some weight )
- The Apple Pencil ( a must have !)
- The USB camera adapter (if you need, but I think many designer love photo too
=> So for the same price of the middle 12" macbook, or 13" w/o Touch Bar MacBook Pro you have a very minimal setup, with a new creativity point of view
(And I love to remind me little inspirational quotes :
- it’ not the tool who make the artist
- the best tool is the one you always have with you
- the constraints born creativity)
