The Genesis Project: Wacom: Got Good Gear?
Wacom makes about the coolest piece of hardware you’re likely to find if you’re a pen and paper kind of designer. Wacom would state (and they’re probably right) that there is still a great need for intuitive tools that augment and tap into the physical abilities that some people have when drawing/designing. So, they’ve made a business out of patented technology that allows them to have an accurate and fast surface that you draw on. That’s right – draw on… To compare Wacom products to a typical computer input device would just be plain wrong – ‘I don’t need no stinkin’ mouse!’ Instead, it’s the closest thing to actually having a pen do what you want it to do in the digital domain.
Anyway, if you’re looking for a piece of hardware to connect you more intimately with some Adobe apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Flash or After Effects, this is on my personal picks list.
