We take a look inside the bag of our resident graphic designer, Anthony, to see what his essential tools are for working as a creative pro.

1. AO Ally Capellino Canvas Satchel - I needed a decent satchel that held 15” Macbook Pro and had enough space for my sandwiches, it was reasonably expensive but considering what it holds, well worth the money.

2. Suede Desert Boots - I walk everywhere, my shoes wear out in a matter of weeks, the crepe soles are durable and comfortable and bring back the nostalgic days of being a mod in the nineties.

3. Keys - To get into places obviously.

4. Denman Hairbrush - I’m really not sure how to rate a hairbrush but it’s been with me for years, so I’m quite attached to it.

5. Hairspray - Probably the most used item in my bag, and I’m not even embarrassed about it.

6. Fisher Space Pen - Apparently it works in zero gravity although I haven’t tested that yet.

7. Field Notes - Retro style notebook, it’s a bit hipsterish but handy for making notes on the go particularly when I’m wearing my Safari suit and Pith helmet!

8. Moleskine Sketchbook - A classic, every designer should have one.

9. Fulton Flat Umbrella - It rains a lot, I need an umbrella that fits in my bag so I can look smug when everyone has forgotten theirs.

10. Cocoon Grid-it - Definitely the most useful thing in my bag, keeps all of my wires and pens in place.

11. Pencil by FiftyThree - Not the very best stylus you can buy for the iPad but certainly the most comfortable to use and works perfectly with my Adobe apps.

12. iPad Air - It was a bit of a treat for myself but I find I’m using it more and more for design projects, sketches and notes.

13. Macbook Pro - I have a massive iMac at work but I find that I prefer to start a project on a smaller screen, particularly website or app design, plus the entire office can’t see it and give their opinions before I’ve even started.

14. Wacom Bamboo - It’s not the top-end graphics tablet but suits my needs perfectly, I use it to create more detailed illustrations or sketches for my projects.
