Affinity
Serif's affordable design suite: a genuine alternative to Adobe tools for small studios and students.
Knowledge
What is Affinity?
Affinity is Serif's design suite: Photo, Designer and Publisher, covering the same ground as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign at a fraction of the cost, with no subscription.
It has a real following among students, sole practitioners and small studios who want professional tools without Adobe pricing. Files exchange reasonably well with Adobe formats.
For your own work and side projects, Affinity is a practical way to build portfolio craft. In employment, Adobe remains the default in most practices.
