Canva just dropped $380 million to scoop up Serif (the brains behind Affinity), signaling it’s gunning for Adobe’s crown. Daniel Scott dives into whether this marks the dawn of a “post-Adobe era,” explains how Affinity’s one-off purchase model stacks up against Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, and explores if it’s enough to make pros switch.
He also teases his upcoming Affinity course, speculates on Canva’s next moves (think DaVinci-style editing and new UX tools), and predicts how Adobe might tweak its subscription plans in response. Bottom line: Affinity’s becoming the budget-friendly launchpad for designers who want serious tools without the endless monthly fees.
