We check in with the Illustrator updates just to see if we’re missing anything that Affinity Designer doesn’t have and have never felt like we were missing out. Maybe you think Affinity Designer is cheaper because it comes with less features? Reason #2: It has ALL THE FEATURES we need for academia, science, evaluation, research, etc. Well, no … actually not forever because they’ll raise their prices so it’ll be even more than that over time.
So, if you want to start learning how to make your own illustrations, and you choose Adobe Illustrator, you could be locked into paying $31.50 EVERY month…FOREVER 💸💸💸. LOL not anymore! Sorry, suckers, you’ll now need to pay EVERY SINGLE MONTH FOR ALL OF ETERNITY 💸💸💸, even if you don’t use any of the new features they add or if they remove features you already use. Reason #1: It saves us a sh*t ton of money!Īdobe Illustrator used to be something you could pay for upfront and then use it for years and years. In this blog post, we’ll provide the 4 reasons that we love Affinity Designer and not Adobe Illustrator. We ditched Adobe Illustrator for Affinity Designer and are thrilled with this decision.
So maybe the real question you’re wondering is: Why do we talk so much about Affinity Designer and not Adobe Illustrator? But have you heard about Affinity Designer? Having said all that, the overall feature set is pretty amazing and given that it comes subscription free is a big thumbs up for this app still.So you’re an academic, researcher, scientist, or evaluator interested in learning how to create your own visuals and you’re wondering what application to use?Ĭhances are you already know about Adobe Illustrator, and maybe you’ve even heard of Inkscape. But the contrast is still crap, even when I adjust it in the preferences. Same for the (partially non existing) keyboard shortcuts for selecting and resizing text.Īnd that black user interface.?Yes I know black computers are faster and black apps are pro-er. Just use the same as macOS uses for window resizing, or as Adobe or Sketch, puh-lease! The keyboard modifiers for resizing layers (from the center, proportially, etc) are rather uncommon and every time it annoys the hell out of me.
So you can essentially use Affinity Designer only on one monitor… Hm. Yes you can switch that off, but then the panels and windows just behave completely erratically. When you work with dual monitors the "everything in one window" paradigm sucks.
Affinity is so close to be awesome, but can be annoying as f**k at times.
