kidtone (114 points) | Mon, 2005-07-18 18:21I'm filling out a request form for technology upgrades for my department. I can request any software or hardware. What does everybody here use as far as tools for graphic design and or webdesign. I know need a drawing tablet any recommendations? and some other stuff please look at my setup below and let me know what I am missing :).
My current setup
Windows PC - 3.0ghz 512mb ram etc etc.
Adobe Photoshop CS
Adobe Acrobat 5
Macromedia Studio MX 2004 - (dreamweaver, flash, etc..)
A crappy little mouse
17" LCD

I downloaded a trial of that topstyle program gonna give it a spin, you prefer this over using dreamweaver?
the trial version sucks, it looks too basic for me, the pro 3 version rocks on my windozer computer :D

My set up at work and home is pretty much the same and serves me real well.
Mac (home = G4 PB400 home it gets by just need an upgrade; work = G5 1.8DP)
Sony flat screen, 1280x1024, does the job but the more pixels the better.
BBEdit for all your HTML, PHP, javascript needs it can't be beat.
CSSEdit, I love writting CSS with this, it's so easy to keep everything tidy and it has some handy automation that doesn't prescribe.
Transmit, easily the best FTP foftware on any platform anywhere.
Fireworks/Photoshop CS. Am always swapping my preference here and have decided that I like them both equally.
Illustrator CS
Logitech MX700 (would love a MX1000 but can't justify)

Motion! But that requires a nice spiffy GC card and a mac :P
Err Lightwave or Cinema 9 might be good to.
Deffenetly a better mouse. Here have a Logitech MX lazer x 20 wireless thingy.
