How Do Graphic Design Tablets Work?

A graphic design tablet—also called a digitizing tablet or graphics pad—is a

substitute for a mouse, trackball or other device.

The tablet consists of a flat surface where the designer can draw, and a pen

that has been programmed to work with the pad.

Wacom is considered the leader in the industry and they provide tablets that

integrate with small home office setups as well as larger professional offices.

Web/Graphic Designing

If web design is your area of specialty, more and

more websites are designed and maintained using

content management systems like WordPress and

Drupal, which can be “plugged in” to a site and

then used to create a consistent layout and structure

without extensive knowledge of programming

languages.

Tools for Web Graphic Design

Graphic designers who work on websites will find it valuable to

know at least the basics of the coding language that is the

building block of every web page: HTML.

CSS (cascading style sheets) are used to create a consistent

look and feel throughout the various pages of a site, so they’re

another important tool for graphic designers to know about.

order to pre-load images or create dynamic galleries and menus.

Graphic Design Technology is to

develop media agile, productive and

problem solving professionals for

industries related to Design Drafting,

Media Design, and Graphics Design.

design - but it is an important tool,

and can help designers develop

something original.
