If you're anything like me.. you spend an inordinate amount of time trying to make stuff look just the way you want. 

 

When I'm trying my hand at design, it's a very iterative process. I tweak a pixel here, add some space there. Eventually, I start narrowing in on something that looks cool.

 
Having the right tools is essential when you're playing the fine level of details required by pixels and color.
 
That's exactly the problem this developer was solving when he invented the ADT.

Good designers demand precision. You can too.

Art Directors Toolkit (ADT) is the "Designer's On-screen Toolset"

 

Speeding up your design process – whether using Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, QuarkXpress, Dreamweaver or any tool to create digital media and websites.

 

These are the tools a professional Art Director would suggest to increase overall design quality.

 

ADT reduces the clutter caused by design research and experiments that end up on sticky notes, swatches, calculations and Google searches.

 

Rulers precisely measure on-screen objects. A scroll of your mouse allows you to quickly scan through font previews. You can…

  • Sample pixels
  • Retrieve color information
  • Find characters and HTML entities
  • Calculate accurate image scaling, and more.

 

Just download it. See why it's an industry-favorite with independent designers and Fortune-500 companies. And, learn for yourself why Apple bundled it on their pro machines for so many years.

 

Please note: As of July 2012, new licenses of Art Directors Toolkit no longer contain Pantone Color Data.

 

 

 

Who's currently using the Art Directors Toolkit?

Graphic designers, production artists, web programmers, creative directors, packaging designers, photographers, publishers, printers, videographers, programmers and people who need to make their visual work precise and accurate.

Upgrades

All version 5.x releases of Art Directors Toolkit will be free.

 

Testimonials

 

"[Art Directors Toolkit] stays opened all the time! It's like an extension of my right hand ;)"
- iKitty, Design
 
"For the past 15 years, I've collected little bits and pieces of paper that had decimal conversion tables, CMYK-to-RGB values, which keystroke gives me a cactus in a southwest typeface, etc.; manually worked out how many points are in 31p7, how many picas are in 6-1/8 in.; held on to my conversion wheel through thick and thin; and bought numerous clear type scales so I could match typeface to inch specs. You've managed to save what few brain cells I have left so I can figure out OS X!! Thank you, thank you…(I'm prostrated on my knees)"

    Hello,

    I bought Art Directors Toolkit in 2011 on the AppStore and would like to know from the developer what happened to the AppStore version. I still “own” this valid license but I can’t get hold of it anymore from the AppStore! Why is this and what happened to this version? Found quite a few similar questions on Code Line’s support page but no answers.

    Thanks for any useful feedback.

    @heliozoa Thanks for writing in. We made some changes with Art Directors Tooklit regarding licensing of Pantone Color Data. We are no longer able to sell versions of ADT that contain Pantone. Because the Mac App Store doesn’t currently allow “update-only” apps to be listed, we were forced to remove it from the store. We’re trying to find a good solution.

    In the meantime, please contact http://code-line.com/support for help with your issue.
