Hi,

I have been using Serif's older desktop publisher PagePlus almost 10 years and really liked it. Just installed Affinity Publisher beta after long wait. It's a really good start. I don't have MS Word or any Adobe stuff...I don't need them, just enjoying Serif stuff :-)

Sure, using it with MS Word-files etc, but I like Serif PP more when doing something from the scratch.

PagePlus was my bread and butter for writing specs to communicate (Media Paradise and Serif made it easy and affordable). Affinity Publisher took a year or two too long, but a definately a good start.

Their Designer software is groundbreaking.

I use Techsmith's Snagit and Camtasia for video. Another great affordable software that changes how you're able to communicate with media.

They are incredible adobe alternatives. It’s wonderful having all the same features in the iPad apps too.
