OP? I misread that as OaP, what is an OP? Yes, I have been wondering how others would do this? It certainly needs tidying up?

Morning, at last I have something to show for my efforts. Not perfect, but getting there. My biggest challenge now is how to explain how I got this far. Basically I started out with a cube, dropped that idea and played with the perspective of one side. The pattern of the tile is a jpg which was dropped on top. A mixture of 'Live group perspective' and 'Warp group perspective'. I hope that makes some sort of sense. The feeling I have is that I have used the provebial sledge hammer to crack a walnut. Looking at the result in the light of day perhaps I should revisit 'snapping' amongst other tools.

Sorry Dan C, just my warped sense of humour poking through. What sense of humour I hear them cry! I am now a Affinity V2 Universal Licence Holder as well as brand new Ipad owner which will be primarily dedicated to Affinity. I have had a lot of good advice on here and YouTube pointers were a plenty. So here's the plan (Revised). I came across this video and with the help of the forum I intend working through it, pencil stroke by pencil stroke. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FE8bTRzdurk&t=7s - I am struggling with setting up Affinity, where things are and where to access them which is making it a bit harder but once I can re-create the box and understands the how's and why's that go with it that will be a major hurdle overcome. Speaking of hurdles, of course I fall at the first one. Right at the beginning of the video two red dots appear - 2 point perspective I think it is called - Question? How are they created (what tools) and are they aproximatly sited?

I have not been able to update Affinity Designer to Designer 2 - 30 day Trial. If I can get that right then switching between packages shouldn't be an issue. What will sort it out, instead of messing around, is to become a fully paid up member which has been the intention all along. All I need is a name and phone number and someone with the willingness to accept my credit card.

I have gone back to item 6 - Window > Isometric isn't finding Isometric - therefore I haven't been able to proceed.

Publisher is Open How do I add a Picture Frame. Save and Close

Thank you Karin, Yes, I definitely think that YouTube is the way to go. I will contact MikeTo.

Without losing perspective. Project: To deliver 4" by 4" x 1/8 (Varies up to 1/4 inch) mock ceramic tile. The tile surface will incorporate a design. It will on occasion use a separate display stand. The graphics are just to give an idea to represent the canvas area for printing or drawing. Thank you for all the interest, I have been somewhat overwhelmed so back to the beginning came as a good suggestion. Well here goes - my orginal message, I managed to corrupt my first sending. Hi there, I hope that by working through this list I will have a design tool at the end of it and may gained sufficient confidence to start my first project. Switch to Publisher and open it Add a Picture Frame. Save and Close View > Grid And Axis.... Select Advanced and choose a suitable Grid (for example I chose 2:1 Isometric) Window > Isometric and then activate Plane "Top" Take a photo of your blank 4" tile or browse the internet for a suitable blank head on picture of a 4" white tile. Place the picture and keep selected On the Isometric panel press "Fit to plane" (and it will skew to draw on the isometric grid ) Select the picture frame created in step 3 On the Isometric panel press "Fit to plane" Resize the picture frame so it sits neatly over the picture of the white tile. Group and replicate if more than one tile is needed. Save the document as a template for future use. (see "Ian G Perspective Tiles.aftemplate") To use this with your designs, recreate a document based on the template in Designer or Publisher In the layer panel select the picture frame in the group Choose Place Picture (in Publisher this would be on the context toolbar) and the image will be squashed to appear, export to the format you wish for the website (or in designer set up export slices in your template after step 14 to speed this step up). Many thanks Ian P.S. Just as an after thought, would anyone consider using Chrome Remote desktop to get me started?

I am a beginner and total rank outsider. I have been kindly given a written challenge which I am finding difficulty to work through. Could someone pick up on this and help me understand the 14 instructions I have been given. Ian G
