I'm no Picasso so I picked a fairly unambitious task – recreating a classic Tag Heuer Monaco watch face – and set about trying to use Affinity designer to do that.įirst, let me say that I've only scratched the surface of what Affinity Designer is capable of. And that's the way I've approached this review. If you're looking to learn vector graphics design, then Affinity Designer for iPad looks to be a good place to start. Affinity Designer review: Performance and usability Essentially, the iPad version is less than half the cost of the Windows and MacOS versions and is a fraction of the price of an Adobe CC Illustrator subscription, which will set you back £20 per month and is a desktop OS-only application. In fact, it's the price of £20 that's the principal attraction here. Essentially, Affinity Designer's counterpart is Adobe Illustrator and although it isn't as stacked with features, it's a lot, lot cheaper. It's different from a photo editing application in that the visuals it creates can be resized with no loss in quality. What is Affinity Designer, though? Well, It's a vector drawing application, principally used for the creation of graphics, signage, user interface widgets and game sprites and infographics.
Affinity Designer review: What you need to know Affinity Designer is the most recent launch on the iPad but it's arguably more impressive than the rest, and it’s a powerful piece of creative software. The result is a pair of iPad apps that replicate, feature-for-feature, their desktop counterparts. Over the past five years or so it's been taking a different approach to mobile app development, tearing down its venerable Photo Plus and Draw Plus applications and rebuilding them from the ground up with cross-platform, more tablet-friendly code. The software just isn't there and, when it is, it can't match what's available for Windows 10 and MacOS users.ĭespite the increasing prevalence of productivity first tablets like Apple’s 12.9-inch iPad Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4, the creative software available on those platforms always seems to take a back seat in terms of features. Tablets, they used to say, aren't appropriate for use by creative professionals.
