That way I know with confidence how the mockups will look on an actual iOS device that will be built by an outside vendor. I do mockups for iOS devices using Minion Pro. I get to use Photoshop CS6 with Illustrator CC and InDesign CC. Who needs a web server, when I can simply ctrl+O files on my desktop or email screenshots? Who needs task runners, preprocessors or other automated build tools? We don't need them to improve workflow since the rest of the project will operate at a similar speed. It takes me back to 1994 long before HoTMetaL existed. I love being able to use Notepad to create/edit web pages and sites.
#SKALA PREVIEW PC SOFTWARE#
No use for ad-blockers as our secure web browser wrapper software lets me experience the web just like our customers! Who needs the most popular web browser used by our customers when I get to look forward to IE11 sometime between now and November?
#SKALA PREVIEW PC INSTALL#
I feel so secure being unable to install extensions. It is so awesome using IE9 and a 6 month old, non-supported Firefox browser.
#SKALA PREVIEW PC WINDOWS#
The people designing on Windows prefer it. So I'd be surprised if this question gets anyone raising their hand to say "Yup! I made this choice on my own, but you're right, I messed up. And the very act of asking the question triggers a defensive response. So when someone says "Hey, does it suck to be you?" the emotional immune system will kick in and say "Uh, no." Because it's a rude thing to ask. So while there's no problem on paper ("I can do all the design I need"), there is a different end result ("but there aren't as many options, especially for stuff outside Adobe's products.")īut there's a greater issue here that some people call "the emotional immune system." If I come up to you on the street and say "you suck" your brain will automatically try to discredit me to protect itself: "Why should I care what you have to say? Your shoes are ugly." But if you respect someone deeply, and care about their approval, the same criticism stings more. More protyoping tools, more plugins, more discussion, more everything. So can a Windows computer do design tasks, and perform well? Of course! But there is an objective truth that iOS/Mac is getting more attention from the design community. A store with 3 options is different than a store with 300 items. And even if it could, there are far fewer people talking about it. The same search for GIMP shows two things: it turns out GIMP can't do all that stuff. But when the cultural norm is Photoshop, there's a tax.Ī Google search for "how do I work in 3d space in Photoshop" will lead you to a lot of content. There is a difference between "technically possible" and "objectively better." People on Linux are quick to point out that they have GIMP, so why do you need Photoshop? They are technically right, and I don't doubt many Linux designers make great stuff.
