iPad and Apple Pencil

A designers dream tool

The items I chose to analyze are the iPad and the Apple Pencil. As technology has advanced over time, designers now have a plethora of options to choose from in order to create and design. Appleā€™s iPad and Apple Pencil are great tools that allow designers to draw, write, and illustrate on a handheld platform from anywhere. There are many apps that can be downloaded on the iPad such as illustrator, Procreate, and Callipeg. The iPad has become increasingly more powerful and costs anywhere between $200 and $600 and the Apple Pencil costs between $100 and $130. It is becoming more and more common to see the iPad being advertised towards designers or creatives. Their commercials highlight the qualities of the iPad that make designing seem easier than ever and the extra tools such as the Apple Pencil that help with this. I believe that the iPad and Apple Pencil are becoming a very popular tool amongst designers because it is easy to use, very light weight and handheld, and can perform designing tasks from any location. I can see the iPad becoming more and more popular in the near future as designers need tools that allow them to design away from the desk. When someone needs to sketch out an idea when they do not have access to their computer, it would be easier for them to have the smaller iPad with them on the road. The Apple Pencil is a great tool that allows you to draw or write in a way that seems smooth and effortlessly. The intended audience is expanding as more and more people are becoming interested in designing. As technology continues to advance, it is becoming easier for people to design. It is also getting much easier for people with little design knowledge to design because of the technology and the availability of resources such as YouTube where they can find videos that help them learn how to use the iPad and its apps. I see the iPad and the Apple Pencil remaining prominent tools for designers to use as we continue into the future. The convenience of it being handheld and easy to transport alone makes it such a powerful tool. Along with this, the technology will continue to get better and so will the apps that are on the iPad. Overall, I think that both the iPad and the Apple Pencil will continue to help designers create and grow.
