Congratulations to Affinity...

...for Affinity Designer coming runner up in Apple’s 2014’s App of the Year.

 

Can't believe that there was something else, this year, that is better than Affinity Designer?!

This is a fantastic achievement, I agree and congratulations to the entire Affinity Designer team and community. I work for a large organization (read: 50,000+ employees) and a large UX team. I have switched to Affinity Designer for the most recent lo-fi mockups and look forward to doing more high fidelity work as well. I will say that as far as buzz goes I think I am the only one trying Affinity Designer, many are still stuck in the world of Adobe (which there is nothing wrong with =).

 

I am an early adopter. I liked Sketch when it came out but did not seem robust enough for my workflow. Affinity Designer feels better to me overall, has amazing performance, and a robust feature list. We had someone on our team ask if we had Sketch licenses the other day and I broadcasted out my use of Affinity Designer to the entire team, we'll see if anyone else gives it a whirl. I love that apps like these exist and fully support the teams that bust their butts to take on larger companies that 'could' be doing it better, or differently. 

 

This is obviously just my take. 

 

Cheers,

Frank

Contrats to all of you (for me too hahaha)

Yes congrats again guys! (I posted my congrats in another thread earlier :) )

 

I agree with you frankstallone on your comparison to sketch. I feel Designer is more of a serious illustration tool than a UI/icon builder.

You're the best !

After using for 20 years AI every day (I've known illustrator 3 !), I can realize how AD is definitely better.

What AD can't do now, just copy/paste in AI and go back to AD.
