Since the exported file is always overwritten, users don’t have to deal with any duplicates.

It’s great to know that final artwork folder will always contain the latest file irrespective of the number of changes made. Another complimentary feature is the continuous export which once selected, it automatically updates the exported file in the specified format and setting even as edits and alternate design decisions are made. You can also mask a vector shape by dragging other vector next to its thumbnail in the layer panel. For example, users can create a clipping mask by simply dragging the object halfway under the main object. The app embraces a more visual and gesture based approach rather than features being hidden deep inside menus.

The user interface of Affinity Designer is very innovative, simple and considering the fact that it has a similar interface with Illustrator, experienced users of Illustrator will find it very familiar and easy to use. It’s not a mere port of the Mac version (on sale for $34.99), but a feature-complete illustration app that’s built from the ground up with touch in mind.Affinity Designer is the professional graphic design software created for designers. Serif has taken full advantage of the iPad’s multi touch gestures in a way that allows users to pull off all sorts of quick shortcuts without delving deep into the app’s deep menu set. After using it, I can say that it is unequivocally one of the most impressive iOS apps I’ve ever used. Like Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer brings desktop-class high-level capabilities to iPad users.

To celebrate, developer Serif is launching the app at a special $13.99 introductory price, a 30% discount off the full price. With the resounding success and universal praise heaped upon last year’s launch of Affinity Photo for the iPad, it was only a matter of time before its companion app, the popular vector illustration tool, Affinity Designer, was brought to the platform.Īfter publishing a teaser almost a year ago to the day, Affinity Designer is making its iOS App Store debut.
