Design tools: (in no particular order)
Pen & paper
Viso
Excel
Post-it notes
Paint/GIMP
Whiteboard
Just kind of depends on what I'm designing at the time.

Re: What is your favorite Designing Tool?
I like using a Jigsaw. I cut out objects from 3/4" plywood and arrange them on the floor where they are stuck with rubber cement (so that they can be pulled up for 'refactoring').
Frankly, I started off with riffing on the idea that design tools could mean anything, but then I just went with it in a free-form approach.
When it comes to program design tools, I like pen/paper and MS Word.
My usual boring signature: Nothing

I was tempted to post a smart remark like "French Curve." But I was worried most people here wouldn't know one if they sat on it, and would probably assume it was sexual innuendo.
It's amazing what people are no longer exposed to in school.

I haven't used one of those in ages...
I suppose it could be handy for developing non-square windows... :-/

Re: What is your favorite Designing Tool?
I think French curves have been badly neglected. DotNet stuff like Graphics.DrawCurve draws spline curves; and they are ... well, so spliny. Yuk. Bezier curves are much nicer, as you would expect from something invented by a Frenchman. Like French wines and French women, they have a certain je ne sais quoi, but I don't know what it is. I can't quite put my finger on it, particularly in the case of the French women.

I thought the question was clear: he's designing. Who or what he or she has designs on is another matter.

Re: What is your favorite Designing Tool?
I like to use pencil and paper. The pencil lets me erase stuff afterwards.
On a non-related note, an eraser is usually called rubber in India. I was looking for an eraser at a local staples store and, when approached for assistance, blurted out that I am looking for rubbers. The sales clerk promptly pointed me towards the Walgreens store outside the window and said "We don't carry them here. The pharmacy next door should have plenty of those!"
Everything that has a computer in will fail. Everything in your life, from a watch to a car to, you know, a radio, to an iPhone, it will fail if it has a computer in it. They should kill the people who made those things.- 'Woz'

Also, you cannot use "banned" as a title. vBulletin prevents it.

Primary: Whiteboard & Marker
Secondary: Glass Doors/windows if the design won't fit on the whiteboard.

Re: What is your favorite Designing Tool?
Currently each of our meeting/design rooms have been outfitted with electronic while boards with Windows OS. This is much better than the old days of whiteboards and markers simply because rooms a shared resources thru IT (over 40 in our group) so you can not expect things to stay on the board past your meeting while the new boards you save things to disk.
