These are some of the tools that will help you get going -
- Google Calendar. Scheduling and blocking times happens here. This will give you an idea of what your schedule looks like as well.
- Our main set of tools is the Adobe Creative Suite - especially the trio of After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator. We occasionally use XD, Animate, InDesign, Premiere, and Audition as well.
- Figma quite often in case of digital design projects.
- We use Notion to get organized. You can access most of the projects by looking around here.
- Microsoft One Drive for file sharing. Remember that email id? Link it to a Microsoft Account is all.
- Apart from that, knowledge of Cinema4D, Blender, Webflow, Unreal Engine, Framer, Miro, etc, is a big plus point.
You will find that most of the communication tools mentioned (Calendar, Discord, Email, Notion) are mobile friendly as well. Download the respective apps and set up a custom notification tone for these. This will help you separate the work communication from the bank loan messages.
Apart from this we will deep dive into any other plugins/tools you may need for design work - after an initial discussion.
