Am I being dumb, or is this not making any sense? Thanks, but no thanks, Google, I think I'll work this out for myself. I've mainly used DuckDuckGo recently, so it is interesting to see this. #AI #smallbusiness

WARNING: This post is going to get geeky! 🤓
After using Adobe's graphic suite for many years, we switched to using Affinity at the end of 2024.
This was partly because of the price. Adobe charges upwards of £50 per month, per user, for its software. Affinity charges a one-time fee of under £200...🧵

I like 4 legs but 2 legs is easier to pose. Here's an example of mine (yes, I was a little cheaty with the pose). www.amazon.co.uk/Our-Intrepid...

I've had to create a variant of our logo for next year's print products. The new linework should fit better on book spines and The Wanderer's Post back cover. 😍

What do you think?
