  It's fantastic to edit text at a client's office, or discuss the latest corrections with a writer. What you did with a PDF on a tablet, or with the original file on a laptop, you can now do in an iPad, in a much more natural way.

  Trying to go from InDesign for the past 30 years publishing a magazine to converting to affinity is a challenge especially when the video doesn’t show basic steps in a slower mode. When you talk and use the mouse pointer at the same time I can’t keep up and wish I had slow motion to see it to fully understand. This video needs to be redone using the basic steps that I would need to convert my older magazine into this new software at a slower pace. Hope I am not the only one confused at times.😎

  Nope. Not a great designer. He is a hustler and has made a lot of stuff but none of his work is impacted or shifted the industry. Being loud doesn't make him great. Speaking truths doesn't make you great. Knowing a bunch of other people doesn't make you great. He's good because of his nostalgic appreciation for design history.

  I guess for graphic design IG is still the easy choice for an artistic community at least, but Bluesky seems to be where the illustrators are grouping now (if you can get yourself seen above the vast sea of anime/furry art). Social media is still useful but while it's fairly easy to figure out where your type of artists are congregating, it's not so easy to tell where your clients/customers might be because they're silent until they interact with you. Twitter is truly dead, though. That place used to be good for musicians at least, but all the people I know with decent careers have come to realise that it makes no difference whether they do or don't post on there - all the movement comes from other platforms, chiefly TikTok and IG depending on the target age group.

  My honest opinion of social media is I have been avoiding it for the past year. I jump on there occasionally here and there but literally in and out in less than 5 minutes. Social media is filled with spam, advertising that I don’t care to see and the platforms put junk in my feed they THINK I want to see. I see more stuff from pages I don’t follow than I do follow. So ya, social media to me is basically a waste of my time. Again it’s just my opinion and how I view social media, it’s more like social advertising these days.

  Exactly this. The feeds are dreadful now. I haven't been on Instagram in months. On Facebook I check one business group daily and post to my own social media monthly. It doesn't matter what I post, either the wrong people see it or no people see it. It's not worth my time. Recently I kickstarted Pinterest again. But it's a slow burn and I don't expect much from it for a few months.

  I think that some sort of subscription model is probably a given. Firstly it seems to be the way a lot of software is going and secondly when you look at the sorts of new features people want, a lot of them rely on some sort of off device processing like Adobe Sensei or Microsoft Co-Pilot for AI features and those really only make sense in a subscription type model. Perhaps you’ll subscribe for the software itself and the new features will be rolled in or maybe you’ll buy the software and subscribe or buy ‘credits’ to use the added features the use off device processing. On a side note, and possibly tangent, since the acquisition of Affinity by Canva I’ve seen a number of really badly designed banner adverts online with messages like “Don’t use Canva, get professional graphic designers like us (this advert was made in Canva, look how terrible it is)”. I don’t know if it’s related, perhaps they’ve been around for ages but I just haven’t seen them, does amuse me though. I’ve used Canva from time to time and produced OK images, but then I’m not a graphic designer so a pro with any tool should be able to make something better than I can. It’s the user, not the tool.

  Contrary to the epic meltdown on the Affinity forums, I think this is the best thing that could happen to Affinity. They were way over extended and development had mostly stopped.

And hopefully they will do something about the decade backlog of bugs.

  I followed you back in the day as you sorta introduced me to Affinity. I tried it for awhile and do not get me wrong there are many good things about Affinity. That said in trying a couple times to get rid of Adobe it never quite hit as there are still quite a few things that you either have to do work arounds or it just does not work. This merger might help this. This all said yo made the comment of the year about Affinity. The comment the founder? Mae about his greatest moment was about winning some award vs is this the best software for the users. To me Affinity has always felt like a software for architects vs graphic designer. If this can work I really hope they really fix some obvious issues with the upgraded resources and also get people in volved that are true design professionals. That will go a long way in people getting rid of Adobe. As someone that owns a small design business the cost of Adobe is something that is a cost offset by the $ you charge for your services. At this point the main products we use of theirs is AI,ID and PS. PP is a joke and AE is so floaty. That said Adobe Express is pretty sweet for social media and is pretty similar to Canva. Anyways way too long here. Yes too you and continued success.

  Personally, I pay for Adobe and teach Adobe because it’s industry standard. I have purchased the Affinity software since the beginning. I currently have the universal license. I mostly use Affinity for personal work, I sneak it into my lessons when I can, I promote it to students. Adobe need competition. I prefer no subscription but it’s not a dealbreaker for me. I think the Affinity price point has always been extremely affordable for what you get. Tremendous value in my eyes. Hopefully with more money behind it, the software will be able to improve much more quickly.

  They are gonna make Affinity free for schools. We have Affinity at our college and students love it. The industry will change when artists change. It blows my mind that software/tools have become a standard yet in most other industry there is no "standard/brand" tool that "must be used" to get a job done. Is there a standard brand of tool you must use to build a house? Avid is the Hollywood "standard" yet many movies get cut in other tools. Hell, Parasite was cut in Final Cut Pro 7!

Their employers have actually been grateful that the tools they use costed them so little to implement.
