| Retr0mantic | Hello. It’s quiet in here… | 18:49:23 |
 findut | Yes, it's quite...but somebody could begin an interesting discussion...so...is a question of time! | 19:03:30 |
| Retr0mantic | It could be us… | 19:33:44 |
| Retr0mantic | …are most people here graphic designers? | 19:34:28 |
| Retr0mantic | I’m a freelance graphic designer in the UK. Curious what everyone else is up to… | 19:35:08 |
 nefermiw | I'm interested in graphic design, but I'm a software tester so this is not my job, it's one of my hobbies. I'm learning how to draw an paper and on ipad as well, mostly I wanted to learn logo designing for fun, but now I'm unsure, I'm interested in a lot of things within graphic design | 19:39:36 |
| nefermiw | I wanted to see what this topic is about and then I left myself here accidentally | 19:40:06 |

| Retr0mantic | I was led to the career by my childhood love of computers and art. When I found out there was a job doing art on computers I was immediately sold!
I’m also trying to quit Adobe. Enjoying some of the alternatives. I’ll be upgrading my laptop this year and hope to be able to not install Adobe on it for as long as possible. Or maybe ever. | 07:49:44 |

| Retr0mantic | I’m trying to quit Adobe because I don’t like being locked into paying the subscription, and because I’m always on the side of the underdog! Other people are innovating more and deserve my custom. | 13:27:28 |
| nefermiw | are you using it for your job? or like me, this is kind of a hobby for you by any chance? | 13:36:41 |
| findut | I use Adobe for work and the free alternatives for personal projects (Inkscape and Blender above all) and unfortunately I have to say that there's still an abyss. The only software that has nothing to envy to paid analog, in my opinion, is Blender. | 13:56:38 |
| nefermiw | ah I see, Blender is something that I've never tried, but I can imagine it's hard to find an alternative to Adobe | 14:01:21 |
