Response to "I Use This"

Hello, my name is Hannah. I'm a sophomore at ASU and a first year in the Graphic Design program.

Hardware

• That really depends on what I'm doing. My main computer is the new aluminum 13in MacBook (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of RAM, still running Leopard), and I use it for writing, homework, web browsing, etc. When I'm working on artwork or design stuff, I use the Windows portion of my Dell Inspiron 530 (2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB of RAM, running Simply Mepis 7 and XP) because I only have Windows versions of Photoshop, AI, and InDesign. Unfortunately, I haven't used the Linux part of my computer in several months.

Software

• I mainly use OpenOffice (word processing), Firefox, ical, itunes, Photoshop, AI, InDesign, Audacity, and Garageband. I use Gmail through Firefox for my email, and I use Safari on my itouch.
  

Cell phone

• Blitz, from Verizon.

Pencil

• Mostly any mechanical .5mm pencil. For art/design I use Derwent sketching pencils.

Websites

• Gmail, ASU, Blackboard, Facebook, and Amazon are the ones I use the most.
