There are a few sites around for Australia, but Deals Direct is about the only one I’ve really had any dealings with.

And you’re quite right. eBay Australia is much quieter!

Thanks!

In the UK, I knew where and how to find the best deals, but, I haven’t a clue here in Australia.

Also, I’ve noticed the Aussie ebay is a lot quieter, and less competitive than the UK’s.

I’ve been thinking for some time now, about getting a graphics tablet. I kinda like illustrated web designs (if they’re executed well).

May I ask where you purchased this, Nyssa?

Well I look forward to seeing them, and I know I probably shouldn’t ask this in a comment, so you can just reply via e-mail if you would like, but what is your turn-around time on a wordpress theme design (assuming I provide a design)?

No problem. And to be honest, you probably wouldn’t need it unless you wanted have some kind of drawing placed into a web design and even then, you can use a mouse and Photoshop and/or Illustrator! :)

I will be sharing some drawings in the future, once I have my redesign launched (and I’ve used the tablet for some elements in my redesign too). And of course, after a little more practice ;)

Wow, what a quick reply. Well thanks Nyssa. I guess, based on what you say, I wont be needing a tablet anytime soon. However I look forward to seeing what you can do with it. Are you planning on publishing your creations on the blog?

Good question, Brian. I didn’t buy the tablet for web design though, so it probably won’t be used a lot for that purpose (I primarily got it just to have something to draw straight to screen with).

It would truly depend on the type of web design, which in the end depends on the website itself. It would only be useful for graphic elements that need to be drawn (and then, it would depend on the illustration or image being drawn anyway) and to help improve subtle design elements.

But this of course depends on the person using it and the purpose they’d use it for.
