Affinity Designer 1.10

AN ARTIST’S SUITE How does Serif’s affordable vector drawing app, Affinity Designer, currently fare for your print and digital design needs?
-
AIthough Serif has been making software since the 1980s, Affinity Designer has only been around since 2014, when Serif decided to refocus its effort on a few core design programs. Its steep trajectory since then has shown no discernible lag and this vector-based illustration and design tool remains the main industry rival to Adobe Illustrator.
Affinity Designer remains affordable, too; at £47.99/$54.99 - a one-off payment for Windows or Mac - it costs less than many other graphic design software alternatives, especially those with a subscription model. Serif has been no slouch in terms of offering a very capable version for iPad, too. Couple that with the ability to work between both Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher, and you've got a very substantial yet compact suite for designers and digital artists.
