Welcome Back
Will write more another day, but just a quick hello and to say how EPIC the Serif Affinity software bundle I was talking about the other month is. I purchased during the launch offer, and was lucky to get some add ons this month when they were on 50% off. There aren’t the words for just how amazing this software is.
I used to use Serif Craft Artist, which stopped working after a number of windows updates. Sorely missed it but didn’t have the funds for subscription based options. Then I came across the Affinity suite. There is Photo, Designer and Publisher. Ohh its soo good.
In the past I would gather digi kits and then assemble various projects with pre prepaired digital artwork. This time around, I’ve been using this new software to make planner page layouts, and so much more. There are tons of video tutorials on You Tube and I’ve taken images of sketches I’ve done on paper and will be using those in my own stationary and other items.
With the tutorials on You Tube, there is a way to make repeating patterns, so paper creation is a starter, theres a way to create a style from a jpeg, which means texture photos of rust, etc could be used on so many things. My mind is litterally blown away by the possiblities of this software.
I have been creating some art with it, and its so good. Im using it with an X-Pen ArtistPro 13.3 Graphics display tablet, which is also wonderful. Its all a different approach to things this time around, but its very exciting.
