10 Best iPad Apps for Creative Web & Graphic Designers

As a designer, I am always looking for ways to make my work easier on the go. I got an iPad for the purpose of using it as a work tool (as well as an entertainment tool of course!). I never thought I would find so many apps that are geared towards creative professionals. I downloaded and tested many apps, and these are the ones that I would put at the top of my list. (Most of these apps are available for the iPhone as well).

Adobe Ideas

As a creative professional, you always need something that you can use on the go when ideas pop into your head. This app allows you to sketch on the go, create design ideas and write notes on the images. It is a great tool that combines features from Photoshop and Illustrator.
