For anything with a decent amount of text, I would use Scribus over Inkscape.
I've used Scribus quite a bit. It definitely feels dated, but still works great. And it has features for things like non-rectangular text areas, and it does stuff like color indexing which makes it easy to change colors easily late in the design process. It is a bit clunky to work with though.
Another option is LibreOffice Draw. I mostly use it for editing PDFs, but it likely has lots of the same features.
@Rhababerbarbar @learnart @artistlounge @artdesign @design @linux@lemmy.world @linux@lemmy.ml I haven't used Adobe InDesign in a while, but from memory, I haven't found an alternative that fully suits my needs. Krita is the only alternative to Adobe Photosop that I consider reliable, and it's very focused on digital painting, so Photoshop is still better suited for broader use. Blender is the best alternative to Autodesk Maya, and Inkscape could replace Adobe Illustrator, but I have little experience with it. I don't know of any other reliable alternatives at this time.
