Illustrator tests Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra for design work

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 23 Oct, 09:44 · Archive

Illustrator Lizzie Knott used the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra to create artwork inspired by basketball.

Lizzie Knott is an illustrator and graphic designer whose clients include the Lionesses, New York Jets, Arsenal FC and Disney+. She typically develops ideas away from her desk—in cafés or while travelling—before returning to her laptop to turn rough sketches into finished artwork. She has previously used tablets that crashed during final stages of large-format projects.

Knott tested the Samsung Galaxy Tab S12 Ultra to determine whether it could support her workflow from initial concept to print-ready artwork. At 5.1mm thin and lightweight, it fit easily into her bag. She created a basketball-inspired piece ahead of the NBA's return to the UK in January 2027. She used the tablet's 13MP main camera with autofocus and 8MP ultrawide camera to photograph textures, colours, typography and posters for reference material while working from cafés.

Knott used the tablet's S Pen, Adobe Photoshop and multitasking tools as part of her creative process. The test was designed to explore how the device's features could support her workflow from finding initial inspiration through to evolving a design into finished artwork ready for clients.
