I describe Affinity Designer like a Photoshop Illustrator hybrid, and allows you to edit photographs as well as build and craft Vector Artwork. Affinity DesignerĪffinity Designer is an up and coming program that can be acquired for a one off fee instead of having to subscribe to a monthly plan. So another option you can consider is Affinity Designer. Now as great as Adobe Illustrator is to use it you need a subscription, which to sum is not accessible. So if you want to use an iPad as part of your design process, as well as a desktop computer, you could use Adobe Illustrator. Now Adobe Illustrator is also available as an app on the iPad, which makes it really easy to use the pencil to draw with. On this course, I'll be using Adobe Illustrator to demonstrate how I developed my logo design ready to present it to the client. Adobe IllustratorĪdobe Illustrator has been around for a long time, and is the industry standard for creating vector based artwork and comes as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite. And the best tools I would recommend right now is either Adobe Illustrator, or Affinity Designer. So as mentioned, we really want to use vector based creative software tools to develop our logo design. So, In this article, I'm going to discuss some software tools you can consider for logo design. But when developing logo designs initially on the computer, it's best to use vector based programs. Now, this is not to say we won't use programs like Photoshop in our process. For this reason, we should only use vector based creative tools to develop logos, and not pixel based bitmap software like Photoshop. programs like Photoshop, work with pixels as bitmap images, which make it really hard to scale up and down and maintain quality of your artwork. But simply put, better artwork is created using anchor points which can be edited and fine tuned to perfectly craft your artwork.īetter artwork also allows you to scale your designs up and down as much as possible without degrading your artwork. But for those who don't, I won't go into too much detail. Now some of you reading this may already know what vector artwork is. When developing your logo designs on a computer, the best method is to develop Vector Artwork. When it comes to logo design at some point in the process, we will need to take our ideas and bring them to life and finalize them on the computer.
