Getting started tablet

#1

I've been looking into investing in a drawing tablet for my macbook. I don't want anything super nice or expensive since im not very experienced, so my price range is less than $100 (preferably more like $50). I've done some research and many people seem to think wacom's are the best drawing tablets, and they have their bamboo tablet that seems to be pretty good for what I'm looking for, but I just wanted to know some experienced opinions. Would this be a good tablet to get? Or is there a better one in the same price range I should look into? I know it only has 512 levels of pressure sensitivity, which seemed to be lower than many other tablets I've been looking at, so is that really a big deal? Or would it even be something a novice would notice? Any help/advice will be greatly appreciated

Some of the information is a bit dated, but most of it still applies.

True, I guess I was just trying to make less work for them. I was told they can only print blurs over top of a solid color.

You might be able to trademark the tagline: "missing something?" as it applies to copywriting, but the whole design would be a copyright and I think you'd have a tough time getting one. If you...

Thanks for the feedback tradebishop! The 'Graphic | Web | Design' thing is supposed to be a simple tag line under my name, so that people will know what I offer at a glance.

As I understand, the 'TM' symbol is usually placed top-right.

I would set the file up how you normally would and let the prepress people at the shirt printer do what they need to do to print the file. They know what works best for their process.
