Computers for Creatives, with Rene Ritchie
Rene Ritchie is the perfect podcast guest to talk about the computers we use as creative professionals, and if you're a photographer, filmmaker or designer there is a decent chance you are using a Mac or an iPhone. We talk about history of how Apple came to dominate the creative industry, starting with their exceptional font support and exclusive apps like Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark Express. In 2018 they seem to be in a transition phase, where some users are voicing frustration with the MacBook Pro, but they have also released the impressive iMac Pro and announced an upcoming compartmental Mac Pro.
