Affinity Designer


what will you learn

Affinity Designer is a professional vector graphic design software developed by Serif, a British software company. Released in 2014, it quickly gained recognition and popularity among designers for its powerful features, smooth performance and affordability. Affinity Designer is available for macOS, Windows, and iPad, providing consistent and versatile design across platforms.

Key features of Affinity Designer:

1. Comprehensive vector tools: Affinity Designer offers a wide range of vector drawing tools that allow users to create accurate and scalable illustrations, logos, icons and complex artwork.

2. Non-destructive editing: With non-destructive editing options, designers can freely experiment without worrying about losing the original artwork. This feature allows them to make changes and modifications to their designs without permanently altering the original elements.

3. Vector Brush Engine: The software vector brush engine provides smooth and natural brush strokes, simulating the feel of traditional drawing tools. This feature is especially valuable for artists and illustrators who prefer an organic approach to their work.

4. Pixel Persona: Affinity Designer has a unique “Pixel Persona” that allows seamless pixel editing. This makes it easy to switch between vector and raster modes, allowing designers to enhance their artwork at both levels without switching applications.

5. Artboards and Constraints: Using artboards allows designers to work on multiple variants or screen sizes within a single document. Constraints help maintain consistent spacing and alignment between elements, making it ideal for responsive design projects.

6. Real-time grids and snapping: Affinity Designer offers customizable grids and snapping options that make it easy to precisely align and position elements in your design.

7. Seamless integration: Affinity Designer integrates seamlessly with other Serif products such as Affinity Photo (bitmap editing) and Affinity Publisher (desktop publishing). This allows users to seamlessly switch between applications and work on multi-disciplinary projects with ease.

8. Import and export options: The software supports various file formats, including SVG, PDF, EPS, AI, PSD and more, making it compatible with other popular design tools.

Affinity Designer has gained a dedicated user base due to its affordable one-time purchase model (as opposed to subscription-based software) and its constant updates with new features. It has become a formidable competitor to standard design software, offering a powerful, cost-effective and user-friendly solution for designers, illustrators and artists looking for professional-level vector graphic design capabilities.
