What does your workspace look like?

[Ericdenman]

That makes sense, now seeing that you have both a magic trackpad and a magic mouse, which one do you see yourself using most often for lengthy design work? (I'm curious because I have both myself, and see myself being tied to the magic mouse for most instances).

i tried to use the trackpad as the primary, it just wasn't happening... back to the magic mouse!

As impressive as all your displays are. The Apple pencil pot is very nice. Where did you get that?

Before & After

Since this thread keeps coming back to me I'll post my before and after photo.


Before: Working from home for an ad agency. G4, great monitor, crappy monitor, great chair, and my home made desk with cord management.

After: Working for myself (forthcoming plug... graphicsward.com). My Macbook, decent monitor, an unexciting chair, and the freedom to get up and go the the beach anytime I want.

Future: The next updated Imac with small monitor in portrait mode, a wacom tablet, and a nice comfy chair.

I am genuinely jealous of this workspace. If my day-job office was like this, I could only imagine how productive I'd be. Working at a stale, 60 year old manufacturing campus (I'm in Enterprise Architecture IT, so the job isn't dingy at least) takes its toll on your creativity.

All that but not a numerical keypad?

Here's my home setup -

While I don't do much visual/graphic design (my fiance is a professional designer for Leapfrog Interactive, but I'm a network engineer by trade), I spend most of my free time developing for the web, iphone, and mac:

Mac Pro w/LED Cinema Display
Macbook Air 13.3 late 2010 w/20" Cinema Display while docked

I'll post my day job office setup tomorrow morning

Love these threads very interesting to see where the magic happens for everyone

Props for having the only Mac Mini in here thus far.

Office setup is your typical corporate-cubicle/prison. HP Envy 17 3D with a secondary Viewsonic 17" display. Grey fabric walls and grey desktops.


Home setup is an Ikea desk, a MacBook Pro and an iMac.

The tablet is basically a decoration. I never use it. Everything is done by mouse. It's how I grew up so I'm too set in my ways to switch. It's nice sometimes when I have to brush things. Besides that, never use it.

Nice iMac wallpaper btw...

Here's my desk-in-a-corner. I think I'm getting a bit cramped...

Just a wannabe designer atm, working on a portfolio, but I felt like sharing anyway. Hopefully this will be replaced by an iMac soon

I keep the side off because I quite often have to give the GFX card's fan a little tickle to get it spinning You might notice I've sticky taped an old CPU fan to the bottom, just incase I forget to spin the fan up.

Don't be fooled by the keyboard. I began learning it at school and now I'm trying to re-teach myself.

I'll give you £1,000 in hard cash; DEAL?

I don't know about that. Mine was (is...) pretty bad too. This pic was taken a few years back, towards the end of my second year in design school:

Totally looks like a studio at NCSU. When I was there the only computers were in the computer lab. This was back in the days of paste-up, plaka and spraymount.

Here's a shot of my workspace:

I really like your desk. Where'd you get it?
