FROM PUBLISHER TO INDESIGN FOR MAC

FROM PUBLISHER TO INDESIGN FOR MAC

Back in December 2017 I pointed to a sneak preview of Serif’s Affinity Publisher, and yesterday the company launched the beta version of the program, which is available, free, for Mac and Windows, so users can try it and help to build the final product. Well if you’ve ever wanted to try your hand at creating your own brochures, leaflets, posters or even a book, then this is for you. “Why should I be interested in DTP and continue reading this?”, you may have asked by now. Photographers eager to control their own images and publish their own photo books were early adopters of desktop publishing solutions, and from Microsoft’s Publisher to more sophisticated solutions, as Blurb’s own software, the number of choices are numerous, and have grown in recent years. The number of tools available, either to download or online, made it easier to create a variety of documents, from model release sheets to leaflets, which can be printed or used in their digital format. The digital revolution transformed us all in a potential publishing company.

Launched this month, the beta version of Affinity Publisher presents a solution for anyone who needs to create everything from leaflets or posters to a whole book, either for print or digital.
