Object 4 Bamboo pen and tablet

So this is next on the list.

In case you don't know, you can a pen instead of a mouse, a pad and software to stick your handwriting on documents and stuff.

It's not earth shattering, but after suffering death by powerpoint a zillion times I refuse to put others through it and this looks a little more interesting, along with forcing me to to write in simple headlines. Which, in turn, forces you to write the narrative for a presentation first rather than just write blurb.

On a deeper level, it satisfies a need to not do everything in the sodding corporate template, which in turn is about wanting to be a little more free. I've never been one to just fit in, my slight rebellious streak has made things a little difficult at times.

Anyway, I've always hankered after doing artier things. As I once mentioned, I loved doing art and was stopped in my tracks my a disagreeable teacher. I can't shake the need to express myself though, probably never will. I guess that's one of the reasons for this blog, and why I'm not bothered about the fact no one reads it anymore, that's not what it's for (and it's not very arty).

Still doesn't counter shit content though does it.

Nice way to personalise stuff though.

Hey Mr Northerner,
i've started doing this after reading your post.
Right now im using photoshop to brainstorm and so far it's been pretty useful:

-multiple layers of notes in one easy to manage file place
-easy to print out and see the thick black text on a wall
-nice to doodle with

I'm curious to know what software you are using, or if it is photoshop, what brush? looks good.
