Last night I was having a bit of a tinker on the Ipad using Adobe Ideas. It is a simple vector based drawing program with the ability to alter the opacity of colour. The program also allows you to email your ideas directly from within the program. You can also add a photo layer which offers the ability to create a greater variety of artwork.
Pros – it’s FREE!!! 50 levels of undo, email built in, integrates into Photoshop and Illustrator if you email as pdf, great gallery make browsing your work easy
Cons – could do with a text tool, a bit ‘clumsy’ drawing with your finger & manipulating the colour tool is a bit slow.
At the moment I’m still out on weather or not this tool will add to my work-flow. I like the way I can try out different colour schemes but I find pen and paper a much quicker way to explore design. I will however keep experimenting as that is how we discover what works for us.
