Like a doctor being ineffective without his stethoscope or a farmer going to farm without a cutlass and a hoe, so is a designer without the necessary instruments to aid him or her perform effectively in his or field of expertise.
These tools needed by a designer are known as power tools. They include digital resources, analog resources and documentation. Digital tools, refer to tools characterized by electronics, examples of these tools include laptops such as dell, software such as Photoshop, printers like canon and digital cameras. These tools assist the designer, to enhance, record and save information. For instance, a designer can use Photoshop on a dell laptop, for editing images. After he can use a canon printer to print out his work, and also save his work in a file or folder on the laptop.

The second source is the analog source. This refers to tools such as personal work space, materials and graphic tool box. These tools help a designer to represent his works works on paper . For instance, a designer, in his personal work space uses materials like pencils, paint and canvas or a piece of paper to make a sketch of an idea. It is necessary for every designer to do so before trying to represent works digitally.
Lastly documentation, this includes presentation, storage systems and work book-folio. These allow a designer to present his works and also group and save information an organised manner. This makes it easy for a designer to keep his work in case he desires to make any references in the future.
