    I've been designing and publishing books and magazines for almost 40 years. I remember learning to use Aldus PageMaker on the Mac II oh those many years ago and over the years I've purchased tens of thousands of dollars of Adobe software and been harnessed to the annoying subscription model for not-quite 3 years. Having stuck with Adobe for an awfully long (and expensive) time I grate my teeth every year when my CC subscription comes up for renewal. And one of the primary reasons I haven't explored other options was InDesign. (I hate Quark...)


    I learned of Affinity software today through a post about the Publisher preview on YouTube. Combined with Photo and Designer, I can finally see an end to my Adobe sentence.

     

    I downloaded the trials for Photo and Designer and am so impressed I'll learn new workflows over the next two months so I can cancel my CC subscription before the March 2 renewal.

     

    I have a break between publishing projects until mid-summer so my fingers are crossed Affinity Publisher will be in beta by then. 


    Yep! Same story here (except the 40 years of experience then)

  2. For the ING bank that I am working for, I made some webpages and PowerPoints slides. Here is an example. I don’t want to show off, because there are far better people than me, but just to inspire newer users to just keep trying and practice. It doesn’t mater if you think the design sucks, there is always something to learn and to improve your workflow.  :)

  3. I have the following issue:

    Corner radius depends on shape size and are not equal. If you do some UI/UX work this is very frustrating!

    So if you have a square shape, for 50x50 with a single border radius of 4%, and a square of 500x500 with the same 4% radius, the roundness of the edges is not the same, because the size of the object is different.

    What can I do? Is this a bug?  :wacko:

  4. I was just wondering about something. Adobe made to the move to let users pay a monthly fee to keep their business running. It is the main reason why I jumped on the Serif ship. But how do they keep supporting themselves with users paying a single price for the software? For now, the software is new to a lot of people, but what about two years from now? How does this business model evolve? 

    Any idea? =)
