A professional vector graphics editor

Affinity Designer

is a vector graphic design application developed by Serif Labs. This multimedia software allows you to smoothly and precisely design professional marketing materials, websites, icons, etc. It offers a wide range of essential features, including rock-solid vector toolset, unlimited artboards, and live pixel preview, which can help you achieve a great design. The program also provides advanced file support, wherein all major vector file types, such as PDF/X4, EPS, SVG, PSD, are supported. If you are looking for a reliable yer relatively much affordable alternative to Adobe suite products, this app is worth a try. 

Practical alternative to Adobe suite

The most notable feature that the Affinity Designer offers is the personas toggle. With this function, you can freely switch from a vector workspace to a pixel workspace with one simple click. The app offers three different types of personas, namely, Designer, Pixel, and Export. 

Designer Persona is most likened to Adobe Illustrator as it is the default workspace built mainly for vector drawing. With this feature, you can enjoy tools for drawing shapes and curves. You will also have vector brushes as well as fill and stroke options. Pixel Persona, on the other hand, resembles Adobe Photoshop more, providing you with brushes, textures, and other image tools that you can use to work on raster images. Finally, Export Persona toggle is a tool perfect for design exporting as it allows you to create slices and export it into artboards. 

With the noteworthy performance and useful features it provides, Affinity Designer is one of the exceptional graphic design programs in this generation. It allows students and freelancers to have a powerful yet low-cost substitute for the highly expensive Adobe suite subscriptions. The application is still in its developing stage. However, if Serif keeps its enhancing pace, then we will soon see Affinity suite on the same par as Adobe suite.
