Hi A_B_C, That way looks interesting. I think I can just about make out the method, apologies I am totally new to all this. Mark -
Thanks evtonic3, Forgive me though but could you just explain the process of creating the stroke. Also, as I am still very much a newbie to all this are you able to explain the boolean process in more detail. Thank you . Mark

Hi Folks, Me again.... After a little more help again please if you would be so kind. So, have a look at the file I have attached. Look to theft and you will see an upper and lower wing. I need the lower wing curve at the furthest left tip to match the curve of the upper wing, making it more symmetrical. Also, how do i make sure that the distance between the two wings (Upper and lower) is that same distance across the full length of the wing again ensuring symmetry. Hope that makes sense and someone can help. Thanks guys Mark Door Design 2.afdesign

Thanks Magnus, Might help if I explain what Im trying to do a little better. I have created my project in Affinity Designer but when I started the new file i didn't check the transparency setting so obviously I now have a white background. So I tried what MEB suggested and I switched the white background to transparent. I am now trying to export my design over into Pixelmator (Sorry guys, haven't got round to getting Affinity Photo yet) so that I can blend my design with an image I have. Now when I import the image it is importing with the white background which is causing me an issue. Any suggestions? Will it be the case I will have to create a new document with the transparent setting right from the start and bring over me design? Sorry guys, probably a simple problem but I'm still learning. Cheers Mark

Once again thanks

Hi Folks, After a spot of help again... So I have a design whereby I have three similar shapes, Each a different colour at present. I now need to match all three. Is there an easy way of matching the colour exactly? Cheers folks Mark

Ah.... in fact don't worry, I think I just figured it out. Makes sense now, sorry it is a Monday after all! Really appreciate the help with that.

Hi Gear maker, Thank you for answering so quickly. Sorry to sound a bit daft but I really am a total newbie, could you explain your answer a little more as I don't quite understand. Thanks and sorry Mark

That really useful thanks :)

Hi Folks, Newbie here with another silly question! So following on from a previous post I finally managed to draw my descending ribbon using get even tool. I now need to fill it with colour but this is were it has all gone wrong. When I fill the ribbon shape with colour it does not follow the lines in the shape (Sorry this is hard to explain) The shape is made of of three fillable sections with each needing to be a slightly different colour so as not to blend in on itself, I will eventually be removing the thin black pen boarder line you see. When I fill the shape it seems to fill random sections and over fill the boarder line. I have attached the file for someone to have a look at. I'm clueless with this... I know someone out there knows exactly where I am going wrong. Sorry if this is all a bit confusing but as I already said it's a hard one to explain. Hope you can help me out... again!

Hi MEB, Thank you for the reply. Being as I am a SUPER newbie could you just explain what you mean by clipping layers please? Thanks Mark
-
Hi Callum , Thank you for the quick reply I will try that, the effect I am after is similar to the attached... but obviously I will require the breaks. Do you think your suggestions will do the trick?
-
Hi Folks, Newbie over here again so humour me a bit.... I am trying to create a ribbon type affect that swirls upwards, it needs to have a varying thickness at certain sections and also needs to have breaks inserted in it at specific sections to allow for another object to be inserted. Any ideas what the best way would be to go about creating this? Thanks Mark
-
In relation to my last post.... To give you an idea the effect I am looking for is similar to the ribbon shape in the attached image, but obviously with breaks in between the ribbon.

I have a questions which sort of tags on to this... I am trying to create a ribbon type effect that spirals upwards (Or downwards depending on which way you look at it :P ). This ribbon will need to have varying width as it rises upwards and will also need to have breaks in it for me to insert another image in between the breaks. What would be the best way to create the ribbon ?
-
Thats perfect, thanks so much and thank you for the video. So simple now that I know how. Thanks again

I'm a total newbie to this so please don't laugh to loud when you hear my question. I have a rectangle in my design that I need but I need to round the upper left and right corners but leave the bottom two corners at 90 degrees. how do I go about this?... and commence laughing.

Hi Folks, Firstly I apologise if I have posted this in the wrong place but I'm a new member and just getting to know the forum. I'm new to design and studying with a view to a carrier change. Affinity designer is my first experience with vector graphics etc so I most definitely a "newbie". So here's my problem... I am designing a bespoke childrens bedroom wallpaper and it is a simple design but has a repeating pattern throughout. What would be the best way to go about creating this in Affinity designer? The design principle is a flat dove on a small coloured square background and then this repeats over and over with the colour of the square changing in a repeating pattern. Any suggestions on how to replicate the pattern but with different coloured squares would be greatly appreciated. As I said, I'm new to this world so please be kind. Thanks Mark
