Using a Tablet?

[uberproductions]

I'm thinking about buying a tablet, but I'm having trouble deciding which one. Should I get the Intuos 6x8 ($276) or the Intuos 6x11 ($345)? And how do these impact flash designing?

Depends on what you want to do.

Animate and illustrate

#1 - Buy it from Costco.

If you don't like it....

I think costco has both models. 6x8 should be plenty though.

Get the 6x11 if you have a widescreen monitor. The 6x11 will also future proof you in case you get a widescreen monitor in the future.
Do pricing online to get the cheapest price. If you are a student, you might be able to get better prices. I'm frugal, so I'd have to go with a graphire.

6x11 $300

I've found the graphire to work better if you are using a cut out animation style. Where you are working on smaller sections or portions of characters and converting to symbols. Then building them.

Because of the larger surface the Intuos is great for doing a frame by frame style. Where you are animating one drawing at a time.
