Affinity Designer

Released in 2014 to compete with Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer is a vector graphics editor for creating illustrations, icons, branding strategies, typography, mockups for the web or print and more. The differentiation with Illustrator comes from Affinity Designer’s ability to work in both vector and pixel. It is possible to create a vector illustration then to apply pixel textures to it without having to change software. In addition, its ability to open documents from Illustrator and Photoshop offers its users the ability to interact with products in the Adobe suite.

It is aimed at a wide range of professional users: photographers, chromists, artists, graphic designers, art directors, designers, model makers, website designers, etc.

affinity publisher

Affinity Publisher

For now in beta version Affinity Publisher was released in the course of 2018 « after thousands of hours of development ». The little junior from the publisher Serif completes an offer which is already extremely relevant, efficient and promising.

If the fundamentals are the same when it comes to publications, each software has its own way of working, its little extras, its little minuses. Bearing in mind that this is still a beta version, the tools offered to us are flexible and quite intuitive.

When version 1.0 is released in a few months, the Affinity suite will then be fully usable in production … and will surely hit the mark …
