#AFFINITY PHOTO VS PHOTOSHOP 2016 SOFTWARE#

With that said, I’m excited to have found an application that has opened up my creativity so much, and that allows me to feel no restraints. It’s odd because I am not mentioning an Adobe product, or some other uber popular app (Sketch). To be honest, it is slightly odd sharing these thoughts. What makes Affinity Designer my go-to vector tool

Finally, I stumbled upon Affinity Designer in August of this year (2016).Illustrator was doing everything that I needed at the time, as I was doing fairly small projects. I was introduced to Sketch in 2015, and worked with it for a short time but ultimately fell back into strictly using Illustrator.

I also used Illustrator at my first corporate web design job in 2014, and started spreading my wings into logo design as the needs arose during my short tenure at the job.

I enrolled in the Boulder Digital Arts’ UI/UX certification course and continued using my Illustrator skill-set as that was the software of choice there.

I skipped - rather, missed - the Photoshop era for web design, and jumped right into Illustrator to create website mockups.

Let’s quickly look at the history of design software that I’ve used. The verdict: Affinity Designer has been so enjoyable to work with when creating vector based designs, and Webflow has decreased the time between mockup to usable code. Why I am now enjoying Affinity Designer more than IllustratorĪs of late, I’ve been straying from traditional web design programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Sublime (code editor) for a few obscure programs.
