Chris T
Principal Content Strategist
5.0

Speaker 1: Hi, I'm Chris. I'm a content strategist. I give Affinity Designer five stars. For more reviews like this, click the link below. Before Affinity Designer, I was using the Adobe Suite of products, specifically Photoshop and Illustrator. The main reason why I didn't like those solutions is that I found them to be very cumbersome and taking up a lot of memory, a lot of space on my computer. I chose Affinity Designer because it was a much lower cost. There's no subscription model. You pay for the software, you have the software. And also, the company that makes Affinity Designer provides tremendously good help videos, tutorials, as well as printed books that guide you through Affinity Designer and how to use it. Working with Affinity Designer, especially if you've worked with any other image type software, is relatively easy to pick up and understand. It's different from most of the other solutions out there, but once you spend time with it's very easy to pick up the tool set, the features, how to use them, and how to get the most out of it. If you're considering Affinity Designer, there is a tremendous amount of help available getting you up and running, getting you started, helping you figure out how to use Affinity Designer to its fullest extent. There's also a tremendous community out there of designers and Affinity Designer users that really provide all of the answers to the questions that you might have. But the tool itself is very easy to use and you can accomplish some really great designs using it.
