Well I am posting this because I couldn’t think of what I wanted for Christmas or my Birthday. I did a bit of searching and thinking of my own and now I present to you what to get a designer for their birthday or Christmas.
What to get a Graphic Designer For Christmas / Birthday.
- New Books (Or a voucher for a book store that sells graphic design books - you can never have enough books)
- Pens & Pencils (Different sizes, colours)
- A large clock to track their time
- Wacom Digital Graphics Tablet

Hi Ana,
Im assuming you meant Cintiq 20 WSX? Widescreen is cool. I also had a look at your blog, have you ever thought about installing a traslator on your blog?
Thanks. Regards, Jacob.

i’m a mainly a web programmer but i have started getting into design with side jobs and have been working on a design for my own site in photoshop off and on for a little while now. is there a specific graphics tablet that you would recommend for someone that doesn’t do too much design (yet). also, what are some key things to look out for when buying a tablet?

Hi Matt,
I have never used a graphics tablet before however a friend of mine named Lauren at Creative Curio wrote an article about tablets here: http://creativecurio.com/2008/.....n-tablets/ All the best.

I’d definitely support that list.. So far on it i’ve gotten (in one birthday):
* Logitech speakers
* Logitech wireless keyboard/mouse set (minimum features possible)
* New custom PC (1GB ram, Dual Core, 160GB harddrive, etc.)
Now all I need is Creative Suite and a new Monitor (900$AUD Apple 23inch display) and I’m set
