Creative Process

Cool tools for thinking…

If you are a mac person, you DEFINITELY want to continue reading. If not, then you might want to skip this post.

There are a few tools that I find totally indispensable for organizing and visualizing work. The first is CURIO. It’s a mac-based visual mapping program for designers or planners. It allows you to pull pictures into layouts and arrange them however you wish. It’s incredibly flexible and amazing for big projects that require a lot of visual mapping.

The second is DevonThink. You can throw everything into it, and it will take it, organize it, and find other files that are similar. It handles nearly any type of file - Quicktime, jpg, txt, doc, whatever. You can also tag your files for later reference, and if you want, it will auto-classify them into categories and folders. It’s an amazing program.

I have no stake in these programs - they have, however, changed the way I think and work. Enjoy!
