Vector lines can be modified either by clicking and dragging or by using vector point levers, depending on your goal. The key element of any vector software, the node editor, is both relatively similar and fairly simple for both nodes can be added either individually and specifically with the pen tool or in a more freehand manner with the straightforwardly-named freehand tool. Whereas Illustrator relies on its mainstay of drop-down numerical boxes, Affinity Designer’s sliders are a more intuitive way to determine sizing, whether you’re determining the appropriate stroke width or layer transparency.īoth programs have the ability to customise their toolbar, meaning you can be rid of the tools you don’t use and prioritise the ones you use the most, and both have the ability to make simultaneous changes across all instances of similar objects in Illustrator, this is called Global Editing, whereas in Affinity Designer you can designate an object, such as a logo, as a Symbol, giving you the opportunity to automatically copy across any changes made to all instances of it. One of the more intuitive elements of Affinity Designer’s user interface is the use of sliders to control sizing and zooms. Both of which were very affordable at one time.Affinity Designer's Workspace (Image credit: Beth Crane) It happened with MathCAD and Bluebeam Revu. I'm afraid what's going to happen is that they'll raise their prices soon. On the forums people complain about it lacking some functionality, but it's 1/10th the cost of software with that functionality.
But for the price, all 3 for $100 you also get the photo editor and Publisher, which for documentation is pretty darn good.
If you had to choose between the 3 for that type of work, you should probably choose Designer. But, if I can figure it out I know you can. It wasn't completely intuitive for me because it works different than CAD. Obviously there's a little learning curve, but there are some good videos put out by the developers to get you started. Like I'm impressed with how well the software works.
I used those back when I was in high school to design banners for websites and signature images for users. I might get the company to buy a licence so I can create some advertisement with it, it's a pretty reasonable price if it does work as well as PhotoShop and ImageReady do.
