Pros/Cons
Pros
- I really like how on Creative Cloud I can download past versions of software, like Photoshop and Premiere Pro. Really helps to collaborate with others when we need the same version.
- I had not realized this feature was added for free and was amazed at the simplicity and ease of editing and creating a video. I appreciate the speed and versatility of downloading as an mp4 as well.
- Adobe Spark is an excellent and efficient app that keeps our brand's creative assets at the ready through the creative cloud and allows for quick and easy work for our small projects.
Cons
- I dislike that some people may become weary from having to remember a difficult password for logging on.
- It was a little frustrating to use sometimes just because of the preset options. In terms of font and positioning of objects specifically, that became a bit frustrating when tinkering with designs.
- The only cons of this application is that if you want to use a paid template you can not pay individually if not you must pay the monthly subscription, otherwise you will get a horrible watermark.
Pros
- This application software is so easy to understand and use and a good replacement for Photoshop. People who are looking for an affordable and better way to design should switch to Affinity.
- If you are new to design and illustration, Affinity Designer is a great option with a great set of tools that will help you materialize your ideas.
- The price includes all updates within that version, and it updates enough to maintain user confidence. Overall, my opinion is that if you care about graphics of any kind, this is a tool worth having.
Cons
- There were a couple of features that I used in other softwares that were missing.
- The only con I have encountered so far is the lack of a button you can hold to switch to colorpicker.
- If there's any degree of complexity (meaning more than one shape), it's going to be an absolute disaster to work with in Designer.
