These are some of the tools that will help you get going -

  1. Google Calendar. Scheduling and blocking times happens here. This will give you an idea of what your schedule looks like as well.
  2. 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.
  3. Figma quite often in case of digital design projects.
  4. We use Notion to get organized. You can access most of the projects by looking around here.
  5. Microsoft One Drive for file sharing. Remember that email id? Link it to a Microsoft Account is all.
  6. 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.
