Affinity Designer

Best Alternative for Adobe Illustrator

Opmerkingen: Overall, I am very happy with this app because I can finally work on vectors and graphic designs without worrying about monthly fees. It is so cheap and powerful. This is definitely the best alternative for Adobe Illustrator.

Pluspunten:

I was an avid user of Adobe Illustrator before they changed into a subscription model. When I learned about Affinity Designer, I grabbed it immediately without second thoughts. It works great and has all the features and tools I need for my work and business. You just have to pay once and you get all future updates for life! Also, their mobile app comes free after your purchase. How cool is that? The app can be used on desktops and/or tablets. I have tried it on my iPad Pro and it's really fun to use, though I'd still prefer working on a computer. The price is so cheap and hard to beat. I will never look back after using this software for almost 5 years. I am now a fan and I highly recommend this app.

Minpunten:

There is nothing to dislike with this software. I never had any issues or crashes so far. I love it!

Best value for price in the industry

Opmerkingen: Overall a very good experience and after using it for a while i cannot go back to Adobe Illustrator.

Pluspunten:

It has a very competetive pricing for what it can do. It does not have a subscription model, which is very incommon nowadays. While it is still lacking behind on some features compared to others like Adobe Illustrator, it is catching up fast.

Minpunten:

Some features that one is used to from Adobe Illustrator are missing. Hoping for the addition in a future update.

The graphic design software for professionals.

Opmerkingen: Affinity Design is a powerful and comprehensive graphic design software that offers multiple advanced features for professional designers.

Pluspunten:

What I really like about Affinity Design is that it offers advanced vector drawing tools such as geometric shapes and Bézier curves. It also supports layer styles.

Minpunten:

What I may like the least is the photo editing tool for correcting imperfections, as it can sometimes hinder the editing process of photos.

A really great alternative

Pluspunten:

I really like the fact that Affinity is a one-time payment software. Unlike Adobe, it doesn't come with an annual subscription, and this factor plays a decisive role in my choice of software. Another of Affinity's strengths is their proximity to users. They attach a great deal of importance to user feedback.And of course, the software's functions are really intuitive and efficient.

Minpunten:

On the other hand, what I don't like is the performance, which is really low on Windows, even with a good configuration. The software is not optimised for Windows and you can feel it. That's one of the software's only faults for me, the performance. Version 2 of Affinity has added a huge number of new features. I hope that this point will be improved in the future.

Sublime platform for all creatives and illustrators

Opmerkingen: Affinity Designer has been paramount in the marketing department from graphics designs for our social media platforms to vector graphics of cars and automotive solutions.

Pluspunten:

It offers a perfect artboard layout and infinite social media templates which I find simple and fun to use. I also use Affinity Designer for digital prints output due to its impeccable resolutions!

Minpunten:

Definitely a bit complex when starting off. Training and tutorials helped me get accustomed. It is quite enjoyable now when I understand most tools and shortcuts.
