Hi,
 
I recently bought the Affinity Designer Workbook and have really been enjoying the practical examples and working my way through it. Just a minor error that I'm not sure has been reported or not (I don't have Facebook or Twitter to contact directly so posting on here) but I noticed a formatting error on page 109 - half of the words at the start of each line seems to be cut off a bit. I included a screenshot below.
 
I have to say that the book is excellent so far, I've always found most design software to be quite intimidating and time consuming to learn but the workbook is getting me to grips with the software really quick and it's been surprisingly intuitive to use. If I notice anything else as I work through the book, I'll use this thread to continue posting.
 
 

Woah, that's really impressive! Really awesomely done! I hope I can do something like that one day.

Hi likeshampoo,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
To skew an image, move the cursor over the middle handle of the bounding box approaching from outside the object (the cursor will change to two arrows pointing in opposite directions) then just drag.
There aren't Perspective and Warp distortions tools available in Affinity Designer yet. They are on our roadmap to be implemented later. If you have Affinity Photo you can use its Perspective and Warp distortion tools (raster based) or a Live Perspective Filter to accomplish this. You can then send the document to Designer (using menu File ▸ Edit in Designer...) to continue working on the file an even edit the Live Filter properties inside Designer.
 
Another way to approach this is to embed an affinity document inside another. You can edit the embedded document in its own document window while the original document is updated in real-time. Check this video for more info.

Winter is coming.
