All programs are tools and I use a mix of many different programs. My favorite are procreate and Canva. I can easily make my custom illustrations in procreate remove background, send straight to canva and my work flow is so seamless and all on my iPad.

I was thinking to myself "I don't think he'll have Inkscape, it's not that well know" but to my surprise it actually made it in! And yes Inkscape is free, its the same as gimp in that they're both free and open source! Honestly I'm not that good at it and there's a lot of features I'm not aware of, but it's nice to work with every now and then. I wish more people got to know of its existence. Thank you for having it in the video!!

I've been using Affinity Desinger/ Photo for over two years now (creating new free trial accounts every month) and as an individual who can't afford any of the Adobe products I'm more than satisfied with all of it's functions. It is pretty much noticable that Affinity itself is a work in progress meaning that many features aren't fully fleshed out or optimized ( the gradient tool for example is absolutely horrible since you cant make it follow a path ) but that wouldn't stop me from recommending it to other designers new or experienced.

I'm used to this kind of video where they say "we tested all of x options available and tell you which is the best" and they test like 5 options at most. This what a very pleasant surprise, because it really did include every popular and obscure program I have tried. I downloaded inkscape months ago to try to vectorize, but I'm a canva newbie and didn't know how to do anything, so I stay in canva style programs and vectorize with an AI tool (vector magic). It's way to painful for my head to learn where the hell are the tools I need hidden. I draw with SketchBook Pro, I need everything in a cool simple line with a symbol that describes the tool.

So it certainly could be American, but like. From the 90s lmao

Ever since I started using Blender for 3D, I’ve started to use it more and more for things I would have previously used 2D vector (and raster) programs to create. It just has so many features I want in all vector programs. Mirroring a shape across an origin, sliding vertices, easily merging verts, beveling, not to mention all the artistic freedom. I could go on for eternity. It really is just so much more enjoyable for me.

Towards the end that life I even started selling "starter kits" where I just put all the elements of a brand in an svg file so anyone could mix and match things in that file to build collateral that fit their brand language perfectly. Inkscape will always be my favorite design tool!

Fellow graphic designer here, I actually made the switch to Affinity Photo & Inkscape last year. I tried a lot of programs before I found Affinity Photo, and I think is the only program that comes close to matching the tools available in Photoshop. Even then, AP doesn't have a timeline that I can use to assemble GIFs unfortunately. I've just been using an online GIF maker to replace it. I've yet to get a replacement for InDesign, but I also haven't done a lot of looking. I've also started using Davinci Resolve for video editing and it's been great.

I made the switch from Indesign to Affinity Publisher and haven’t looked back. I’m only doing simple booklets, single page graphics, slides etc. but I find even for those simple uses Affinity Publisher is lighter and quicker. I agree with you about photoshop. I like the timeline and Affinity photo also doesn’t have the 3d - but for me that’s just a want not a need. I do find the inpainting brush in Affinity photo much better then the content aware tool in photoshop but I’m not sure if that’s a tool issue or if I’m just not using the content aware tool correctly. For now I keep both but I mostly use Affinity. The other thing I love is the availability of the ipad apps for the Affinity suite. I keep my files in dropbox so I can pull them up and work on them anywhere. Learning curve on the ipad for sure.

Oh my God the kid pix brought back so many memories! I used to spend hours on that program and then graduated to Gimp when I got older, because that's the software my friend showed me. I still use Gimp to make raster projects, and got inkscape for vector. Gimp is not very beginner friendly, but once you get used to it, it's a dream. Especially with it being open source, it means you can download, and make, plug-ins and it becomes almost as useful as base photoshop
