  1. Thanks
    Winsome got a reaction from pgraficzny in Illustrated maps   
    @pgraficzny
    Really nice visually balanced design; the mix of modern maps and treasure maps works really well.
    Miłego weekendu!

    Yeah there should just be a CTRL-H to hide or something

    Here’s the latest revision, including lots of small changes, including a few based on feedback above. Thanks for the helpful tips.
    @Jowday: I hope Dannebrogen is now a bit more correct in its proportions. (It’s actually quite different from other Nordic Cross flags.)

    Being Danish I love it. Great work. My input:
    The shield doesn't for me at all - almost. 🙂 The bevel part of the shield looks like any other bevel I have seen and the style of the entire shield should be in greater harmony with rest of the content. I would make it look a lot more like the original. 2D and simple. Now it has a moderne sterile style that doesn't match the excellent flags and stuff you masterfully recreated in the background. It is also a shame the original details on the border of the shield were lost in the process. The shield is the focus point and centre after all. And the original shield is beautiful! No bevel can compete with it. Experiment with more clarity on the ropes - perhaps not as much as the originals but closer to that. Unless you observe the coat of arms on a big screen / big print it will just look like think strokes.  Replacing the original Swedish "mix of crowns and lions" with just Tre Kronor is fine. Easier to decode for the eyes - I guess swedes will accept it too.  Fascinating stuff to work with, eh? 🙂

    I've loved seeing the evolution of the design and been impressed with the incisive feedback you have been getting here. 
    Here is my constructive criticism on the latest design.
    My main issues at this point are with the banner and the typographical style in the club's name and motto. I agreed with earlier critiques that urged you away from 3D-type beveling and embossing and feel the changes you implemented improved the design. But this computer generated look has crept back in in the textual elements and the use of grads in the banner and IMO it detracts. Not sure about the font used and the characters seem crowded.
    I wish the grads in the banner text were more 2-D looking (more in keeping with the flags).
    The motto below also seems awkward typographically.
    I also feel you have lost the sense of flags being "crosses" (especially the Danish and Finnish flags) relative to the earlier versions  (which I prefered in that regard).
    Nit-pick aside, I think this is awesome work. I'd have kept my mouth shut otherwise. 
    Great work!

    I fancied drawing a camera and decided on this one. The lens reflections were a bit boring on the reference so I used ones from a different photo where I didn't like the camera body. But between the two it looks OK.

    Winsome reacted to minuir in Affinity Photo Manipulation - Meet The Giant Sleepyhead   
    The most memorable thing when I traveled to Australia is the moment I met the sleepyhead Koala. The Koala was sleeping in a very cute pose stuck in a branch, and it was loved by many visitors. I really wanted to bring the Koala to Korea where I live. So with good memory about Koala, I started working on this photo manipulation with affinity photo. When we meet Koalas in nature, I don't think they are threatening at all. Even if it is very huge size, I think we will be able to watch it comfortably because it sleeps all day. I have that kind of good feeling about Koalas and I want to share this feeling from my photo manipulation artwork.

    Illustrated maps for village promotion and tourist places. Created in Affinity Designer using vector technique combined with bitmap using Concept Master Vol.1: Nature Brush Pack brushes and those created by myself. So far, for several maps, I have drawn about 200 objects with varying degrees of accuracy.

    Havn´t been here for a while, job and life taking just too much time. But recently I had two days and managed to fire up the Affinity for some aviation artwork.
    For a while now I have had a P40 on my mind and thought it was as good a time as any. So here is my take on the great P40 Warhawk.

    Winsome reacted to Zmip in Introduce Yourself   
    Hey, I'm Pim from the Netherlands. I'm a really old-skool graphics-guy, starting as a self-taught designer, turned into software developer over the years. I started out with creating graphics on the Mac when I was 14 years old. I must have seen the above startup window many, many times (there was no stand-by mode, you had to switch your Mac off every time you were done, and the floppy, also containing the operating system, was ejected before you could). Macs were pretty rare back then, and I only had access to them on weekends. Eventhough my daily work now mainly involves writing code (also a super creative exercise, mind you), I still have a strong "affinity" (yeah, yeah) with graphics programming. At one time I wrote an entire OpenGL game-engine from scratch for a (highly successful) iOS app.
    As you can imagine, I have a long history with Adobe. I was even sideways professionally involved with them after the Macromedia merger. It hurts me to see what has become of the company that has had such a great influence on my professional career. I'm still running macOS Mojave because this is the only OS that still supports Photoshop and Illustrator CS6 (and you know why). But it's time to say goodbye, Adobe's holding me back. Time for something new and fresh. I'm very impressed with what I've seen in the Affinity suite so far. Pretty amazed too about how much Serif is allowed to "borrow" in the user-interface department. I remember that before Adobe acquired them, Macromedia had to remove the "tear off"-palettes from their products because Adobe owned the patent to that. Different times.
    We live in a strongly globalized economy, and software developers work around the globe. But it's hard to deny that most of the big (and best) players in the software industry are based in the US. So I'm pleasantly surprised to have learnt that Serif is a British company, located just under 400 km away from where I'm based. Excellent!
    Let me take this opportunity to add my first request to the wishlist: that long overdue "simplify path" feature in Designer. I already ran into this omission after some doodling yesterday. Looking at how the rest of the products look and feel, it's not the lack of talent on the Serif team that's holding the implementation of this (relatively simple) feature back.
