If you can afford both (which i hope to one day do), then get both, but I strongly suggest Illustrator. I was told Corel Draw was very easy to use, which is convincing, but at the same time, the industry standard when a customer/client brings you a file it is normally Illustrator.

I opted for the monthly payment which they upgraded my photoshop (from CS5 to CS6) and gave me the latest Illustrator for just $30 per month, better than paying a full prices of $599, plus the monthly membership gives you free upgrades for future new versions of each program and have access to all other programs if you want to learn those as well (dreamweaver, etc). I personally am great at Photoshop, have done graphic design for over 5 years now so Illustrator, having almost the same tool base and practically being photoshop's cousin, i went with Illustrator. If your design work is primarily print based where you're dealing with Pantones and printers and the like, you probably just have to bite the bullet and accept that paying Adobe's protection racker-er, I mean 'licensing fees'-is part of 'doing business' in this industry.It all depends on preference and the time you are willing to take on learning the curve.
I use Sublime Text these days for my markup.īig disclaimer: The big challenge with finding replacements-especially open source ones, is that so few are focused on print design. It's fine for an 'enthusiast'.Īdobe's After Effects (VFX/motion graphics) -> I don't have an alternative for that.Īdobe's Dreamweaver (code HTML/CSS) -> Sublime TextĭW was never a great product.

:)Īdobe's Premiere Pro (edit video) -> iMovie. It's my main design tool these days.Īdobe's Flash (for animation) -> Flash is dead. I've always preferred Freehand over Illustrator and, to me, Inkscape is much closer to Freehand. It can open PSD files but note that it can't fully understand the new features in later versions (such as smart objects). Pixelmator is the closest I've gotten to the full 'Photoshop' set of tools. Note that I run these on OSX for the most part. Is there an alternative to Adobe Creative Suite for designers/enthusiast?

I found Corel Draw, but I'm so confused if they provide a master collection (collection of their software for a price) that will satisfy my needs. I have searched online and can't find something that packs in programs such as Adobe, even if it's just a photo editing software and vector software.
What I do appreciate about Adobe is under the master collection, I get all these programs, but I don't appreciate the price (because I can't afford) or the subscription model (I like to buy once and forget) they now have. Notepad++ for Dreamweaver but if you haven't noticed, these programs are from different companies. I understand alternatives such as Inkscape is like Illustrator, Blender is a good substitute for Adobe Flash. But can boil down to a video editing software, graphics software and photo editing software. The programs that I am mainly interested in is Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator (create vector art), Adobe Flash (for animation), Adobe Premiere Pro (edit video), Adobe After Effects (VFX/motion graphics), Adobe Dreamweaver (code HTML/CSS).
