Affordable Design Programs

Looking for design software without a costly subscription? Meet Affinity Designer, my new favorite design program. It’s 20% off on the Mac App Store, now through October 20th, and worth every penny. If you’re on the hunt for a Photoshop alternative, Affinity Photo is a great deal too!
