Tips Makradar / / December 19, 2019
Our today's hero heading "desktop" - the author of two (1, 2) Megainteresnyh articles to create a new icon for the shopping list "Buy a loaf!", The art director of the same name company, One of the founders of "Turbomilk" samarchanin and just a good person Dmitry Zhukov. It is not surprising that Dmitry in their work actively using Apple technology, so I am pleased to ask him a few questions about how the apple logo devices help Dima in his versatile activity.
Hello Dima! Let's start with a little self for our readers
My name is Dmitry Zhukov. I am a designer, sometimes the head, furious motorist. Many of the about-design environment I can be familiar as one of the founding fathers Turbomilk, a wide range of fans of low-machines I know, as a project manager Bodybeat, More and more people know me as an art director "Buy a loaf!"Over time, I hope that our new small design company 5EVEN get up on a par with the aforementioned projects. It turned out that almost the only hobby that is left for me - it is a family, all the others are constantly changing in the job, I also like a real hipster love bikes.
It is interesting, but looks like the desktop of the hipster?
I love big monitors and I rarely get to put things in order, so a small table does not suit me. In our office (combined Bodybeat & 5even) All have the same tables - wooden table top of laminated veneer lumber Beech (IKEA), on supports. The table top is very pleasant to the touch and is ideal for alluminum invoice. To take photographs for this interview, I had to get out thoroughly.
That of Apple-technology do you have? When there was? Tell us about your "apple" way :-)
Macs for a long time for me to have been a pipe dream. A similar situation was almost everyone, who began his career at the end of the last century.
This was the technique of the gods
In my school, there were two classes, usually with some kind of terrible PC, and second, in the first, we have programmed in Pascal and played Larry, and in second were unbelievably fast Apple Macintosh computers with extremely fast interface and some cool program for drawing.
We are already prepared for the harsh life of developers, so do not come near to the products especially the apple company
At sunset era of Power PC, I was able to somehow collect the money and bought in Moscow, the first 12-inch Power Macbook Pro, G4 on the brakes and while I was happy. At first it was terribly uncomfortable. Then he used, was involved, I bought an external display monitor. As I recall, the native resolution of the display was the same as in the first doretinovyh aypadov. I have long tried to convince myself that nothing slows down, but with the release of the next update of the company's products Adobe deceive ourselves was not possible, G4 era came to an end.
I tried to work on Widnows, but somehow it was hard, very hard. Then there was a vague era of work on Hackintosh - a constant battle for a stable job and a terrible fight with the drivers. Despite all the problems and hemorrhoids, it was all the same Mac, though not the best, but quick and cheap.
Then I bought b / a MacBook Pro 15 "is already on the Intel, iPhone 3G the first day of sales, thanks to my daughter I got the first top-end iPad. Then he changed his deceased 3G on four. With vremnem I replaced the old "tag" to newer in yunibodi, too, b / y, now use the iPhone 5, at home I read everything with the same old first iPad, the office is another newer iPad Mini.
When we gathered in the same office, and buduyuschy 5EVEN Bodybeat, decided that all will work on Macs, has been kept, even bought a printer with AirPrint, well, AirPort itself. At home, I do not naraduyus on Apple TV. Best complementary device to any Apple equipment. I can not imagine how you can still watch movies and listen to music, Air Play is a miracle!
As you know, without all applications - simple iron boxes. What programs you use most often are you?
For work I use products Adobe, mainly Illustrator. Safari uses for everything else. This interview was posted in New unpretentious Pages. Previously used Google Docs, but they have become some the brakes and sophisticated, but Apple has tried in the opposite direction and everything is simplified in its office suite.

On the iPhone also did the unimaginable, any social network, a couple of toys to preview the designs on the screen using Instashare, Well Air Video HD to movies and TV shows to stream to your computer to Apple TV.
Price: Free
Price: 459 rubles
For physical fitness tracks (running and biking) I have long been used GipIs, then switched to Run Keeper, finished last season on Strava.
Price: Free
And what about the accessories?
I do not like cases, I like to become my thing, because it scratches and abrasions make it such. The only case that I have stayed for almost a year, was a replica cover Vanz on iPhone4, it was very convenient to store payment cards: climbed as much as two pieces.
Backpack I got to the load from the first "tag" it is some quite ordinary DicotaModel, I do not know. To me it seems to be almost perfect and it is almost unkillable.
As for mice, I have a "cockroach", I like wires and batteries do not like, so use the wired gaming mouse: at work I Microsoft Sidewinder MouseHome noutbuchnogo little too game A4 Tech. In addition to the lack of batteries in gaming mice is another big plus - additional buttons that are convenient to put the Expose function well, and in every way to switch between applications.
What can you say about the "apple" of technology in general? How it helps you in your work and life?
Apple technology can do to make your life better, it's only your personal task. The beauty of technology Apple - it just does what is necessary, that I'm waiting on her.

Sometimes you have to use Windows to make the diagnosis of your own car, just me potryasyvaet much, especially with respect to new versions, old cozy XP is far less disgust. At the same time, I am aware that this is a matter of habit - Windows, Linux and other systems will always find their consumers and there is no place to any holivar.
