Guide to Choose a Drawing Tablet
Have you heard of drawing tablets? They are digital drawing pads on which you can use a special pen to make your hand-drawn design elements. So, they are a form of input device for a computer. Using a graphic pad is as simple as using a pen on paper, literally! The tablet comes with a special stylus used to ‘draw’ on the flat surface. Whatever you ‘draw’ appears on the computer monitor rather than the tablet itself, so this can take a little getting used to if you are completely new to digital drawing pads. Some of the higher end models on the other hand have the true functionality of a monitor apart from serving as drawing pads. This brings the tablet closer to the experience of actually drawing using a paper and pencil, and such tablets are a pleasure to use and a lot of fun as well.
The purpose of any drawing tablet is to transfer the motion of your stylus on pad, into a digital reproduction of that action. Do be able to do this, the tablet needs good interaction between the ‘pen’ and surface and effective transfer of information to the computer unit. Different companies use different tactics to make this transfer of information as effective as possible.

Asymmetry on the other hand can seem much more interesting and out of the box when implemented with the right feel.
So – if we agree that symmetry IS beautiful, but can get boring at times, and asymmetry is curiously interesting in spite of the fact that it is not as perfect, which do you think is more appropriately used in visual designs?
