We all know and use many programs and apps on our mobile devices to access information, make purchases – or even to work creatively and effectively.
As a design studio or agency, you are often faced with the task of optimizing or monitoring various processes during a project.
Here we would like to introduce just three tools that we work with.
Of course, we use many other programs and apps, this is intended to be a kind of mini-introduction, which we will probably turn into a whole series.
We would like to start with the creative preparatory work, the conception.
Often you want to get inspiration in advance. You can use search engines, browse through books or look at various “inspirational websites”.
A site and a service that combines at least two of the above points is called: Niice.
The website www.niice.co offers a great way to search for images because it filters the top results from various sources and displays them to the user.
We signed up as beta testers for niice.co some time ago and have now officially been able to create individual mood boards for several weeks. A great feature is the ability to invite people to these mood boards. Of course, you can also share individual boards with one click.
All of this has made us fans of this “image search engine”. For example, if you have Pinterest’s Pin-It button integrated into your browser, you can also publish individual images and photos on Pinterest.
So our first recommendation:
Secondly, we would like to mention the time tracking tool Toggl introduce:
In the free version of the tool, you can easily name tasks and stop the time spent working on them. The app also works in the browser - there you also have access to all previous "tools".
In the Pro version (the app is available in both the App Store and Google Play), you can enter even more details about the respective “toggles”.
Our second recommendation:
We would like to conclude this short round of introductions with OneNote from Microsoft:
An unbeatable tool that can also be used in a team. Notes and much more replace the eternal paper chaos.
Universally usable on every conceivable system, this tool is almost a must - of course, everyone has their favorite apps and programs - that's not what this is about.
Rather, it is a kind of best-of Radar Five Media.
