  1. Ah now I get it, I was going to try going down the Boolean approach too. Thanks again MEB, those short videos are a great idea! Thanks Mark
  2. Hi Paolo, Thanks for the reply. I'm a newbie to all this so any chance to could break that down into step by step for me? Mark
  3. Hi Folks, Me again.... This time I am after some advice for colouring an object. I have created an object and it will have a single solid colour, however the top of the shape needs to be different colour. there is a break between the two. I have attached an image to show you what I am on about. Any ideas for the best way to go about changing the colour of the top section? Mark
  4. Hi MEB, Nice and simple again, I like it. Thanks again for the help. By the way, keep doing those little videos, thats a great idea! Thanks folks Mark
  5. Another question then, I need to remove the centre line of the letter B (As circled in the attached image). How can I go about doing this? Mark
  6. Hi Mike, Perfect, so simple I didn't even try that. Thanks for the very speedy response. Mark
  7. Hi Folks, Just after a little help again if possible. I have created a line of text in a logo I am putting together for a client. I need to adjust a couple of letters and by that I mean I need to adjust certain parts of the letters shapes. Is there a way to convert the character to a shape and manipulate that way from within Affinity Designer? I know there are other programmes that can do this such as Pixelmator etc but I can seem to see a way in AD. Any suggestions? Thanks again Mark
  8. Hi Alfred, Finally got round to trying this and I have at last got it Many thanks for your time and patience Mark
  9. Hi Alfred, Sorry for the late reply, works been manic. Sorry I am still having trouble with steps 5,6 and 7. How do I add a node? and then how do I break the circle. Sorry for all the darts questions but every day is a learning day :D Mark
  10. Hi Folks, Beginner question here. So I've got a logo design Ive done using AD. I'm semi-happy with it and ready to start trying on some mock-up stationary etc. However, whenever I re-size it using the Shift key and dragging the corners in it all goes a bit wrong. The text size doesn't change so ends up massively out of proportion, the shapes Ive created don't decrease in size as they should and it ends up looking a right mess. I'm new to the whole design world and still finding my feet. What is the best process for designing, creating a logo that will go across a multitude of products (Stationary, websites etc) and what is the best way to transfer it onto mock ups without destroying the logo when re-siziing it. Regards Mark
  11. Hi Alfred, I will look into downloading the new Beta. Thank you for your help but I am just having some difficulty with the third set of your instructions, any chance you could simplify them down to a level that a semi intelligent chimp could understand? Thanks again Mark
  12. Thank Alfred, but again I'm having that issue as your file has been done in v1.5.0 and I am running 1.4.3. MEB, if you read this is there any chance you could convert the file again please? Mark
  13. Sorry, Had an issue uploading... Should be attached correctly now. Mark Logo test 1.afdesign
  14. Thank Alfred, Any chance you could help out with my last post I just one above? Mark
  15. Ok, So another little problem I have come across.... and I'm sure you clever people will have an answer for me. It may be easier if you just take a look at the attached file as I have put my question on there to try and make it easier to understand. Logo test 1.afdesign
  16. Now I see.. Thank you for the file MEB and yes Alfred thats exactly what I was after. Cheers again Folks, always a pleasure. Mark
  17. Hi Alfred, Unfortunately I keep getting an error message when I try to open your file. It says that the file version is not supported with my version of designer?!?!? I'm using the latest version. Odd... any ideas? Mark
  18. Hi Folks, Been a while since I've been on here! Anyway I'm after help yet again. So I'm putting together a logo design for a friend and the design is a full circle with a smaller circle within the outer. However, the inner circle needs to be broken at the bottom... I have attached a couple of rough sketch's that I have done so that you get the idea what I am talking about. Basically what is the best way to create the break in the inner circle? Confused? you will be :huh: :huh: Cheers in advance, because I know you lot will know the answer ;) Mark Logo sketch.pdf
  19. Wow, great work. As a beginner to I'd be really interested to understand how you created this? Mark
  20. Cheers guys, thanks you for the helpful advice and feedback. Any suggestions on correcting the symmetry problem I mentioned? Mark
  21. Thanks for uploading Dan, I found it really helpful. Keep up the good work and I'd be interested to what other projects you post up in here. Mark
  22. Awesome work there Dan, I loved the video. Any chance you could do a short tutorial explaing how you went about the half tones bit, I found that really interesting but obviously your video is speeded up so it's hard to follows. Keep up the good work Mark
  23. Hi Folks, This is my first real go at a more complex (Complex for me that is) design using AD. The plan is for this design to go onto a tee shirt but I wanted to offer it up on here first to get some feedback and pointers. The title is "Bay the Force be with you", its my take on Big Hero 6 being crossed with Star Wars. The design is not 100% complete yet but the basic design is there and I thought this would be a good time to offer it up for some helpful feedback. The areas I have struggled with mainly are... 1> Symmetry - If you look closely you will see that the helmet does not sit central to the body, when I try to get it central it seems to throw the rest of the design out. This, I am finding, is a common issue for me when I try to create something. 2> Shading - I have no real idea how to perfect the shading on this. As you can see 90% of the image is a white colour which made creating definition between things such as the helmet, armour, body, arms and legs really hard. Any advice on this would be HUGELY welcome. Any other points you can see that you think are worth mentioning then please feel free. Thanks folks Mark Bay the Force be with you v1.0.afdesign
