Free trial software

In school we currently use SERIF pageplus for desktop publishing in graphic communication and creating research pages in design & manufacture folios and so on…

SERIF has recently re-branded as Affinity and due to the effects of COVID-19 pandemic they are currently offering a 90-day free trial on their entire software suite.

You can download for Mac or Windows desktops and also for your ipad.

They are also offering a massive 50% discount for users who would prefer to buy and keep the apps, including iPad versions.

These products are equally as good (if not better) that the popular titles from Adobe such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.

They also offer excellent downloadable guides and great videos: Videos and tutorials
