Choosing a stack for a small studio

Lesson 10 of 10 in AI in the design tools.

Lesson

A small studio does not need thirty subscriptions. It needs one place to design, one to generate, one to finish, one to write, and somewhere to keep references. Five things, chosen deliberately, used until they are known well.

Through a doorway, a small studio with one long table holding five well-worn things: a sketchbook, a camera, a brush in a jar, a typewriter and a box of prints. Through the window, a shop across the street glitters with new gadgets nobody is watching.
Five worn tools inside, a shop full of new ones outside. Knowing a few well wins.
