Affinity makes some of our favourite design software – and it's all 50% off for Black Friday

We've already seen an impressive 50% off deal for Adobe Creative Cloud, which ends today. But Adobe isn't the only design software company offering a big discount for Black Friday. Affinity, the developer behind some of our favourite Photoshop alternatives and Illustrator alternatives, is also offering 50% off.

The 50% off deal covers the entire Affinity Suite, which includes Affinity Photo, Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher, all of which are available for desktop and iPad. In the UK, this means an Affinity V2 Universal Licence, which includes every app, is down from £159.99 to £79.99. Individual desktop apps are down from £67.99 to £33.99, and iPad apps are down from £17.99 to £8.99. And best of all, with no subscription, these are one-time purchases, unlike with Adobe.

You can learn more about these apps in our extensive coverage, such as our guides to the best digital art software and best graphic design software.
