On the left hand side you have the icons to get to the tools you are going to use to create your artwork.
Getting started with Affinity DesignerĪs soon as you open up the application of Affinity Designer you can see there is a standard layout of the application tools and palettes. So with this history of my search for a good vector design application for the Mac, it is understandable why I am delighted with Affinity Designer. I like Pixelmator as a bitmap art application, but for the sort of work I would do I would prefer to start from the vector side of things. You do have some drawing applications which give you a certain amount of vector artwork drawing facilities and one example would be Pixelmator. It was something I could have got used to, but there were a couple of things that I did often in a vector art application that were very awkward to do in Illustrator. Adobe Illustrator was expensive and not as easy to use as Corel Draw. Candy Apple, I thought was pretty good but none of the them came anywhere close to what I was looking for. There was Vector Designer, Inkscape and recently I tried out Candy Apple.
I did try out a number of vector graphics applications for Mac. After leaving Windows, I had no desire to mess about with having Windows on my Mac. I was disappointed there wasn’t a Mac version of Corel Draw and their only suggestion was to use the Windows version in a virtual machine. I was an expert user of Corel Draw having used it on a daily basis for 12 years and I’d never been tempted to try using Adobe Illustrator. It has taken a long time to find the Best Adobe Illustrator alternative Due to my background in art and design and having a business as a signwriter, I wanted to have a good application for vector art. I moved to the Mac from Windows about eight or nine years ago now.
