Designer Mike Rohde on iPad

Mike Rohde: “Drawing works well on the iPad with a variety of useful drawing apps. I especially enjoy Adobe Ideas, Sketchbook Pro and Penultimate. The biggest issues are stylus options. I have the Pogo Sketch stylus and it works, but feels like drawing with a mushy pea on a stick. I’ve heard good things about the Dagi stylus but haven’t bought one yet. I hope more, better styli appear over time that feel like actual pens and pencils.”

If you haven’t caught The Conversation #20: Visual Thinking I’d recommend you do. Mike is a very talented designer and you owe it to yourself to listen to what he has to say. If the name sounds familiar it’s because he’s the designer of all those cool sketch style drawings in REWORK by 37Singnals, and SXSW Sketchnotes.
