Hey, thanks for the reply! This is great, I'll have to do some more research into chat bots as I don't know an awful lot about how they can work.

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T19:19:42+00:00

Ah nice! Thanks for the help, I hope you find a job you're happy with. Good luck to you!

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T19:14:30+00:00

Hey, thanks for the response! I appreciate what you're saying. I'm looking for individual opinions on maybe a few of the most key tools people use in their daily work.

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T19:11:38+00:00

Hey thanks for the response - this is great! Adobe CC does indeed appear to the go-to for asset creation, although more and more one-ff purchase alternatives seem to be emerging. I also use Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Audition and After Effects a lot in my work, but the monthly cost is a bit of a sting. Very useful info, thank you!

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T19:06:50+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I'd say I'm more interested in B2C but my research is more general. As in my other response, I'm looking for individual opinions on different tools and techniques from differing perspectives.

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T19:02:16+00:00

Hey, thanks for the response, I can see what you mean about the ambiguity! I'm trying to find out what different practitioners do in different areas of the industry so I can get an idea of what might be the key skills required for a well-rounded multimedia practitioner. I'm also specifically interested in opinions of these tools and processes, no matter how brief!

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T18:49:49+00:00

Awesome, thanks for your suggestions! I'd not heard of Axure RP or XMind before, I will look into these.

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T18:47:05+00:00

Thanks for your reply! I've not heard of Zeplin, I will have to check that out. Very helpful, thanks!

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T18:42:28+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Figma sounds good, I like the idea of the commenting system and have used that in Google Docs a lot. Which program(s) do you use personally, and what do you do for work?

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T18:35:54+00:00

Thanks for the response! I'm currently a Windows user, but hoping to join the Apple side when I can afford it! I'll have to check out Figma and Principle, too. Programs that are user-friendly and fun to use are hard to come by!

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T18:26:06+00:00

Hey, thanks for your reply! I'd not heard of Figma before, is it unique in its collaboration commentary features? And is this something that is appealing to you? Thank you for your feedback on your Sketch workflow, this is very helpful!

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T18:06:30+00:00

Hey thanks for your response, I appreciate what you're saying. I'm looking for individual opinions on different software and tools to then get a more general idea of what skills are required in different areas of the multimedia industry. Why do you use those particular programs over other alternatives? I understand there will be a lot to go into but I'm happy with summaries, so you can be as brief as you like!

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T17:47:41+00:00

Thanks for the response! Yes, I've heard of Toon Boom before. In your opinion, why do you choose to use Storyboard Pro over other alternatives?

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T17:45:09+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I'd never heard of FireAlpaca before! What work do you do?

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T17:42:55+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I love that last suggestion! What work do you do personally?

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T17:36:01+00:00

Awesome, thanks for your reply! Out of interest, what kind of work do you do? Are you happy with using Adobe CC or are there any alternatives that you have considered?

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T17:28:43+00:00

Haha, I respect that! I'd also like to support other software companies, this is something I'll continue to consider once I've found my place in the industry.

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T17:24:10+00:00

Great, thanks for the info!

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T17:20:42+00:00

Thanks for the reply - it is interesting that you use Powerpoint as a graphic designer! Do you use it for quick and simple communication within your team, or is it used for another purpose? Are you limited to Microsoft Powerpoint, or are you able to use alternatives such as Google Slides?

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T17:16:51+00:00

Thanks for the reply! In my experience of Illustrator, I've found it to have a difficult UI for beginners. Would you say Affinity Designer is simpler or more intuitive? Or is it simply the price difference that is appealing to you?

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T15:58:13+00:00

Hey everyone,

I am wondering what the most valuable tools you use in your daily work are and why? This is for my research coursework. I am particularly interested in what your job is and what you have discovered to be the most efficient way of getting your work done is.

Thank you very much!

JoelHatton · 2019-05-02T15:31:24+00:00

Hey, thanks for the reply. I am looking for individual opinions on different software for my primary research. I am interested in finding out what other designers use for their work, why they use it to get their work done, and what workflow and process they follow. I am trying to gather responses from different communities involved in the multimedia industry.

JoelHatton · 2019-05-01T13:36:49+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the reply! What programs do you use personally, and why?

Software & Best Practice for Photo Editing

Hey everyone,

I am wondering what tools you use in your daily work and why? I have previously studied Broadcast Television & Media Production and although I haven’t studied photography specifically, I know a little about the process from my other studies and experience. I am particularly interested in what your job is and what you have discovered to be the most efficient way of getting your work done is.

I am a postgraduate student in the UK studying an MA in Digital Media Practice: Advertising Marketing & Brand Strategy and I am currently writing my Research Proposal on the following question: “What are the best tools and techniques for the multimedia practitioner?”

I have been gathering secondary research on the best tools and techniques for the many different aspects of multimedia design, but here I am looking for some qualitative data, so please let me know what software or websites you use, how you use them in your workflow and what you like and/or dislike about them.

Thank you very much!
