Hi all, I'm also new Affinity user. I'm a graphic designer, illustrator. I work with print and illustration. My passion is vector drawings - and I always focus on right software for my purpose. I used Illustrator and other Adobe apps a long time. I'm OK with Adobe software, and Illustrator, but I'm very tired with subscription model, it's very expensive and not flexible for me (for example, I don't need full package of adobe, I need few of them, but should pay for all- it's not fair for customers). At the same time I was not happy with pen tool in Illustrator. I wished to draw more smoothly and seamlessly. I bought iPad last year and searched a lot of vector apps for iPad. I heard about Affinity Designer some times before, but didn't used it. I downloaded iPad version and was very excited with possibilities to create great vectors. I created a lot of great vectors on iPad for my work. It was great!
But the real start to use Affinity software was this month, then I downloaded Designer/ Photo and Publisher to my Mac. I explored Designer and Publisher (absolutely new for me) as much as I can, I try to find what I can do with apps, and found that i can do a lot of my daily things. I was very happy with Publisher. I had big project recently with outdoor advertising this month, I created huge amount of banners and posters, and was so happy with unlimited width of sizes!!Thank you!! It was so easy to create and export 15meter - wide banners! No adaptation, no 1:10, equal tiff as it should be! It helps me lot to create my job very quickly in great quality in very hard deadline and I'm very grateful for this technical opportunities. Affinity Designer is my favourite application for making vectors. Great application with such amazing tools. Some tools I really want to see there (Eraser tool in Designer Persona for example, more boolean tools...) but I work here more smoothly, very quickly, and my vectors much better then was. I think I will transfer to Affinity from Adobe soon. I'm very happy with Affinity apps)
