Whether it’s for publications, user interfaces, or packaging, graphic design is prevalent everywhere. Encompassing visual art, problem-solving, and communication, a successful graphic design project requires artistic skills, as well as a keen understanding of the proposed medium, message, and client’s needs. If you’re pursuing this career path or already doing business for clients, having the right computer is critical to the process, and for most designers, an Apple^® MacBook^® or iMac^® is the best one for the job. If you’re wondering why these products are ideal, here’s what you should know. 

The Benefits of a MacBook or iMac for Graphic Designers

1. Clear Display

With a higher pixel count and an accurate presentation of color, the Retina^® display of a MacBook or an iMac is beloved by graphic designers of all disciplines. While digital-only designers benefit from this level of clarity for website or app design, those who work with tangible goods depend on it. Whether it’s a shirt, book cover, or a building, color accuracy is critical. Even if you have a Pantone^® color guide on hand, it’s better to work with the correct hues from the beginning. 

2. Easy Transfers

Found on all Apple devices, the AirDrop^® feature makes file transfers a breeze. If you're traveling and want to work on a mock-up on your MacBook, you don’t have to worry about finding a hard drive to save it or uploading it to an online file storage space and downloading it. If you’re collaborating with other designers, it’s easy to share your progress back and forth until the project is complete.

3. Intuitive UI

Compared to most operating systems, the user interface (UI) of Apple’s macOS is clean and streamlined. It’s easy to navigate; performing various tasks, like installing a program or deleting a file, is as simple as clicking and dragging an icon. For smooth and swift project workflows, choose an Apple.
