Hello guys,
 
I have a question, at Dribbble you often see animation artwork show up. It's becoming very populair to be honest, there isn't a day going by without a .gif animation in the most populair lists at the Dribbble website.
 
Something like this for example.
http://drbl.in/pmAW
 
With all due respect to the designer of this artwork, this isn't the most difficult artwork to create if you know your way around with vectors + an animation timeline. I believe this can easily be done with Illustrator but I often read people don't call it animations anymore but motion. I also believe people are creating this sort of artwork in Adobe After Effects as of late and my question is... Is there some sort of vector animation software out there in the same ballpark/quality as Affinity Designer and Photo. Some software that is going places and almost comes close to Adobe level software.
 
I can't use Adobe software, it's too expensive for me.
Everything I do is just for hobby and the great thing about Affinity software is that it is affordable for anybody - even if you only use it a few times a month.
 

In Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator we always had the option to change the size of your layer thumbs.
 
I really like bigger thumbs.
 

+1 for Animation.
 
Look at this. You can have a 3500.- computer with a fancy Touch Bar that you'd like to touch more often than your girlfriend but if you can't do this with your computer/software you're not sharing a table with the cool dudes. Not even close.

Maybe this is a bit silly to ask but I'm a real fan of Lynda.com and the way they teach people how to use software with essential training video's.
 
Is there maybe some opportunity that the Affinity people can reach out to Lynda.com and provide them with a top designer who knows Affinity Designer inside out. I would really like to have some sort of training course about this software. Tutorials are create and very helpful (thanks) but I think when you really want to start doing things right you need a solid understanding of all the settings, tools and layouts before you can start creating stuff..
 
I bought Affinity Designer at launch day and to be honest I haven't got the most out of it. When I see video's like this show up at Vimeo I feel like really stupid not knowing such a great feature is part of the app and I'm not using it.

 
When someone professional teaches you all the essentials you can't miss out on these features and will never forget to use them because they become part of your workflow.
