Bring Your Own Laptop: Affinity is Free. What Does That Mean for Designers?

Affinity just went from niche to free after Canva’s $380 M buyout of Serif (Affinity’s parent) in March 2024—and design guru Daniel Scott is here to break down what that means for creatives. He explores whether we’re entering a post-Adobe era, how Affinity stacks up against Photoshop, InDesign and Illustrator, and if it’s a true alternative for pros and newcomers alike.

On top of that, Dan teases an upcoming Affinity course, weighs in on Canva’s next big moves (UX tools? DaVinci rival?), and predicts how Adobe might tweak its pricing to keep up. If you’ve been hunting for a more wallet-friendly design suite, Affinity just turned into a seriously tempting option.
