there is one and only choice for creative ideas... 
Wacom Tablet
There are many different kinds and different prices of Wacom drawing tablets, in any case
choose one and start creating.
Printer/Scanner/Fax/Copier
...‘cause you need to print your ideas on paper and have a pysical touching sensation and
view about how things are going on during your creative process. Sometimes you also need
to scan a picture, send a fax so that’s why we suggest an All-in-One printer.
External Drive
Storage in never enough when you must save your works, choose an extra external drive to
keep your Mac’s harddrive lighter and faster.
Huey Pro
Your monitor needs to be calibrated with the same colours you’ll see on printing: “See what
you print and print what you see”.
Pantone Color palette
Pantone colors is a standard reference for graphics and printers so this is why we use these
palettes to choose the best colors for our works.
Professional Camera + SD cardreader
If you need a good picture and your iPhone is not enought.
Backup Power saving unit
If a blackout arrives when you are working you don’t have to suicide ‘cause your job wasn’t
saved and you save yourself from potential injuries (smashing your head on the desk).
Pantone Coffee Mug
Coffee is our daily fuel so you need the right mug to refuel.
