I want to be able to prototype between screens and do simple animations! Summary The reason is simple: Not this one, nor any other app on App Store today enables UI designers to create any interactive components (which is so important in enjoyable designs!). For me, it’s great for doing static UI design screens and explore with different design elements.īut, it’s not enough for me to completely stop using the computer and only design on the iPad Pro. These functions are already more than what most other applications offer.

Edit in detail (corner radius, colors, borders etc).

UI Design + Affinity DesignerĪffinity Designer features some of the most important functions that’s needed to do proper UI design: There are some big ones like Procreate and Sketchbook which are more optimized for pixel graphics (drawings) than vector graphics (illustrations and UI design).Īffinity Designer is one of the biggest ones intended for tablet use and optimized for vector graphics which is why I choose it.

It’s not odd since it wasn’t long ago iPad + a pencil became a thing. There aren’t many good softwares out there yet for designing with iPad Pro, especially not vector based ones. It’s available for both desktop and tablet. In short, Affinity Designers is a software similar to Illustrator that allows the user to create vector and pixel graphics. Affinity Designer is available for purchase in the Mac App Store, iOS App Store, and the Microsoft Store.” - From Wikipedia It is part of the “Affinity trinity” alongside Affinity Photo and the yet-to-be-released Affinity Publisher. “Affinity Designer is a vector graphics editor developed by Serif for macOS, iOS, and Microsoft Windows. This is a first impression post so I’ll probably make additional posts in the future when I learn about more functionalities. This post will be a short review of doing UI design with the Affinity Designer on the iPad Pro 2018 (12.9 inch).
