What is the big deal with 60 quid month for Adobe software - all of it! Every piece of software, for 60 quid a month is a huge saving. If you hand your files to a client as per an agreement - you might be costing them a lot more to have their files rebuilt in professional software.
GRAPHIC DESIGN INKSCAPE PLUS
Plus it’s not as robust as the industry standard.īeware if you’re using non-industry compliant software then handing files over to industry professionals that are not compliant (i.e., require a lot of reworking) then you’re going to incur extra charges. Same with Inkscape (I believe, if I’m wrong so be it) It costs no more than one or two months of an Illustrator subscription (for a lifetime Designer license).Īnd the fact that Scribus has no support except 3rd party support for Spot colours/pantone colours. Otherwise it’s a great option, provoded you aren’t required to deliver. The only possible drawback is that you can only copy objects directly from Inkscape to Designer and not the outher way around, as Inkscape turns Designer vector objects into bitmaps. The two apps compliment each other very nicely. First, I sculpt my design in Inkscape - in black & white - and then I transfer it to Designer for CMYK colorization - in a color-managed environment - and final export. Inkscape - the cornerstone of my workflow - is very powerful and feature-rich, but unfortunately has no color management whatsoever, can’t embed a CMYK color profile or simultaneously exportf multiple files to multiple firmats, which makes the export process very tedious.Īffinity Designer, on the other hand, has the very features Inkscape lacks, but falls short everywhere else. I’m a logo designer who uses the title combo instead of Illustrator.
