Affinity Designer 1.5 is now available from the App Store for a single payment of € 39,99. If you are a designer who works with branding, concept art, icons, UI, UX or mock ups for the web, this software offers a very decent alternative to what is Adobe Illustrator.
Among those new features coming in 1.5, there is optimization for MacOS Sierra, symbols and text styles, a new color selection tool, constraints, export enhancements, and asset management and styling enhancements.
The new restriction functionality allows users to control position or size of an object relative to its container, which makes it possible to create reusable elements in a responsive way.
Instead, the symbols feature offers the ability to use multiple instances of the same object, so when editing an object, all of them will be edited simultaneously. "Snapping power" is another new feature with the aim of creating simple and customizable alignments through grids and pixel snapping. The asset management panel allows users to drag and drop objects in and out of the panel for quick access.
