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

I am glad at least one other person agree that GIMP is not user-friendly. It is so counter-intuitive, I don't understand why they haven't changed it.

I used Photoshop all throughout high school, and I have to say that the best alternative I've used is Photopea. The slowness is only really a problem once you start getting into higher and higher resolution sizes or when you start using dozens and dozens of layers and unapplied effects. That or you have a low end computer. (Also combining Blender, Photopea, and Krita/IbisPaint X is just the best)

Microsoft Excel can be surprisingly powerful for page layout and design. In a previous job I was the "Excel wizard" of the office. The company hired a design studio for a rebrand, and I got given the task of updating all of the Excel templates we had to implement the new branding. Trying to use Excel to create complex, dynamic page layouts felt more like trying to summon a graphics demon with a medieval grimoire, but the results ended up looking really good. Inkscape is a great vector editor. Free, open source, cross platform, and very flexible. I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a featureful design and illustration tool.

I am a corelDRAW main and I must say it looked very daunting when I first started playing around with it but after a couple of weeks I got very comfortable with it and now even implement some scripts here and there for more intricate and tedious designs, it is also nice that you can select a monthly subscription or a once off lifetime membership, would 100% recommend it.
@Music5362 7 ай бұрын
I have both subscriptions for CorelDraw and Illustrator. CorelDraw just seems so much quicker. And it does scales, and has master layers like InDesign. 👍

I really like using CSP. It's mostly used for making comics, it works a lot like photoshop, but they have vector layers. The vector layers act like raster layers which is pretty cool.
@iamduck98 Жыл бұрын
True! CSP is amazing for artists, the layers, lineart and colouring is just so smooth but I can see why it's a bit meh for designers. Manipulating photos can be tricky/ bit of a nuisance sometimes.

Some really cool features of Canva that people may not know. My favorite is you can upload custom fonts either ones you made or bought. Canva actually has a new drawing tool to make art in the app but it’s new and a bit glitchy but I feel in the coming updates they may also Intergrated vector drawing. 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 tried a lot of the adobe suite but with my slow computer it’s honestly just a waste of time the programs just crash soo much, maybe I like too many layers.

not to be mean but every single app that features text edit allows font importation, every app in the video can do that. You can also do it in word, writer or whatever you use to make cool designs or give extra personality to your work. If you have a slow computer you may like the veteran combo inskape+gimp

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 began with MS Paint, then used Corel Draw and Corel Photopaint way back when during the mid 90s.Then I dabbled a bit using MS Publisher, but used Paint Shop Pro regularly, then PaintNet, Inkscape, and Serif (later became Affinity). I use PaintNet the most since I'm used to it and has a lot of plugins I like. When I break out my more robust programming laptop, I use Affinity. Cool video!
