Made with artists and designers in mind, the Ink and Slide allows people to get more creative and playful when it comes to their creations using such Adobe programs. They essentially rethink the purpose of [styli](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moto-pen) while providing digital tools for people who often rely on analog versions of such products. The design of the Ink and Slide themselves is very modern and ergonomic. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 44% | Activity: 51% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Digital Art Tools:** Providing innovative alternative styli and rulers for artists and designers to use with digital programs. - **Cloud-based Technology:** Using cloud computing to connect digital pens and drawing devices to design software. - **Ergonomic Design in Digital Products:** Creating devices to help artists and designers to work longer without strain or discomfort. ### Who This Affects Most - **Graphic Design:** Providing new digital tools for professional designers to sketch and draw on their computer. - **Art Education:** Providing affordable digital art tools for educational institutions to teach students drawing and design. - **Art Supply Manufacturing:** Leveraging uses of cloud-based technology to manufacture innovative and affordable digital tools for design and art. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Professional Drawing Tablet Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/astropad-slate.md) - [Captivating Stylus Pens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/quill.md) - [Slide-On Pen Tips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pentips.md) - [Portable Creative Tool Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-creative-tool.md) - [Portable Digital Drawing Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-digital-drawing.md) - [Digital Handwriting Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kindly-ink.md) - [Digital Pen Technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-pencil-pro1.md) - [Education-Focused Styluses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/logitech-pen.md) - [Colorful Tech Stylus Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-crayon-pro.md)
