Tools for New Designers

Starting out in design can be confusing because of the amount of tools that are available now. What tools should a new designer learn and how much will it cost? That's what I cover in today's video.

I tried hard to include a variety of tools and options for each category that range from free and or cheap to industry standard and will cost you something.

A suggestion: I'd love a list of the products you mention added to your description. Timestamps, if they're not too much work, would be amazing as well. Sometimes I want to hear about one product and find myself having to skip around the videos for too long to find the specific info I'm looking for. Great videos and resources. Thx for doing what you do!

Dude I only just stumbled across this video a few days ago, and found Notion through you. Such an incredible app, thank-you for opening my eyes to it, I can finally merge my google docs, sheets, keep, apple notes, trello & monday work into one cohesive place. Game changer! How do more people not know about it!

[@antsinpantsninja6619]

Thanks for this video! I am in the beginnings of a UX bootcamp and the shear amount of tools they are showing me were a bit overwhelming. Thanks for breaking it down.

[@JesseShowalter]

Hey, Ants in pants Ninja! Thanks so much, my friend!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@SteveRB511]

Nice tools introduction. Do you have your recommendations for coding and site management tools such as Visual studio Code, Atom, Dreamweaver, Pinegrow, etc.?

[@jefferco6489]

So helpful with the client & admin tools! I've been looking for tools like this for so long. Do you have other smart tools for client work, work process or administration? By the way can you make a video about how to do client work?

[@GringofaceDesigns]

Excellent content dude! I learned everything from GIMP - and now moving to Affinity Photo. INKScape is a solid starter - and now I am using Affinity Designer.. Designer however does NOT have a live trace function. Which is terrible for a vector editing software.

[@MSCS9816]

I really appreciate your work and this Video. Greetings!

[@JesseShowalter]

Thanks so much, Marcelino!! 🤘🤘🤘

[@jaloliddinesonboyev]

Great. thanks Jesse

[@Ofc_bg]

Thank you! Looking good by the way. 👍🏽😎

[@JesseShowalter]

Thanks so much, Joshua!! Have a great day! 🤘🤓

[@dimiutube]

Thanks for the good overview. If you mention GIMP as free graphics editing tool you should keep Inkskape in mind, too. It is a free tool that exports SVG and it works for me so far. But I will give Affinity Designer also a try. I'm using Affinity Photo side by side with Photoshop and it is awesome, especially for this price.

[@JesseShowalter]

Hey thanks so much for the tip, Dimitri! Hope you enjoy affinity designer, let me know!!

[@dimiutube]

Hey Jesse! I got Affinity Designer now and I really, really like it. I've been using Affinity Photo for a time, which works perfectly in terms of editing. But it was a very slow on my old MacBook 2013, so I switched to LR / PS for photo editing. Affinity Photo and Designer work very well together. Greetings from Hamburg and have a nice christmas time!

[@tristanos22]

Great video! Useful info!

[@JesseShowalter]

Great Video Jesse !

[@JesseShowalter]

Thanks so much for the encouragement, Yannik! Get out there and make amazing things!!🤘

[@Seanonyoutube]

Miro is another essential tool for collaborative brainstorming, I’ve come to rely on it for my work.

[@JesseShowalter]

Thanks for the tip!

[@crisremiter9283]

Thank you!!

[@JesseShowalter]

🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@TedMattos]

Thanks for these ideas, Jesse. Because of you I purchased Affinity Photo and Designer. Thankfully, when I checked their site a few days ago, they were having a sale for 30% off. :) Sadly, that sale is off.

[@JesseShowalter]

Sorry you missed a good deal but glad the video was helpful

[@afolayanolajesu1599]

Lovely video, I have this same shirt too😁

[@sriganesh_ninja]

Thanks for the Video, I going to use Notion. :)

[@JesseShowalter]

It’s pretty great

[@jeromebrown20]

Photopea is an in browser photo editor that's free. Great one for newbies on a budget.

[@JesseShowalter]

Great recommendation

[@johnhiggins5187]

You forgot the greatest piece of software of all time: Webflow.

[@JesseShowalter]

Great tip!! Thanks so much!! 🤘

[@b0red7]

can you please do a review of notion and taskade?

[@JesseShowalter]

probably won't I don't use Taskade

[@obvinpro]

you forget to mention live collaboration in Adobe XD

[@Imstoyan]

Awesome videos! Love ur channel!🙌🏻 What’s ur advice for motion design apps? There is Adobe after affects & adobe animation, but if u want to buy one time time app or try any free software, what u can recommend for that ? I saw u can do small animation with timeline in Sketch, in one of ur videos that can do the job? Or Apps like kiteapp.co or cavalry.scenegroup.co ? Any tips will be appreciated 😝😇

[@JesseShowalter]

Use Adobe XD until you need after effects

[@firasalsghier3944]

Hi jesse, how are you? I hope you are fine. I just want to make a video about the difference between the margin and the position right left top bottom! and thank you, have good day

[@yasinkavakli]

Dude those extensions 🙈 You should hide couple of those (right click). And maybe try Brave, it’s chromium but without google bloatware and privacy in mind.

[@JesseShowalter]

Thanks so much for the tip, Yasin! 🤘🤘🤘

[@yasinkavakli]

Jesse Showalter you’re welcome. I’m using Safari for browsing and Brave for development on my MacBook. At work (W10) I’m using Brave exclusively and I’m pretty happy with it. Faster and not so hard on battery life.

[@nickk1524]

A suggestioin id recommand is getting a cracked version of photoshop it literally works the same..

[@samael.projects]

[@fatimachowdhry1654]

I guess no follow up reply...alright ..I thought Youd actually follow up! silly me!

[@JesseShowalter]

Hi, Fatima. So sorry for the delay. My entire family and I have had the flu for over a week now, I haven’t been up to much other than taking care of them. I will get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks so much.

[@fatimachowdhry1654]

@@JesseShowalter Aww Thanks Jesse for replying! I'm sorry you all have the flu and hope everyone is better soon! Take care
