[Air-L] [EXTERNAL] Re: Recommendations for graphic free software

[Sarah Cooney]

Figma has a free upgrade for educators and students and you can create teams with your students as an educator.  Haven't tried it yet, but plan to use it in the Spring for a course.

Hi Telma,

Scribus is the best option to run on a desktop and it's truly open/libre software. It does not have all InDesign features but it works fine.

But.... You can try figma!
This one is much better than InDesign!!!
It's not libre but you can use it online and it's free if you don't mind having your work to be public.
