Hi pioneer,
 
Thanks :) I'll had the request to my Affinity Photo tutorials list.
Just give me a few days since I'm already in the making of two other tutorials to be online this week...
 
Cheers,

Hello,
I wanted to create something quite simple for the community, so I thought I'd go back to my realistic icon design days and apply some of my methods in AD.
For this I digged out the Battlefield 3 "Accuracy ribbon" design. This was originaly made with 3D software but it's not too hard to replicate in 2D.
 
http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Ribbons/Battlefield_3?file=Accuracy_Ribbon.png
 
The basics are:
 
Import the ribbon image into AD and create a new artboard below it
Add guidelines for the sizes of objects and where the background color bands meet Start by recreating the shapes over the original image - the background colors, then the golden circle and the rounded, long squares of the aim Try to select colors similar to what you see on the top image Play around with Outer Shadows, Inner Shadows, Bevel and layering different effects until you have the same feeling of volume
Add shadows and other lighting details to the illustrationRemember that 100% black shadows on most objects feel unreal. Try to base the color of the shadows off of the object itself or off where the shadow "lands"
 

 

Finally use images in Color Burn and Multiply mode inside masks to add the gritty feel to the metals and the fabric texture to the background Play around with the saturation of the colors you chose to find the right spot for added realism. Metals that have been "through war" are not polished therefore they shouldn't shine, they should be dull.
 
 
Please find the final file attached. The texture images in it are for demonstration purposes only and I do not have rights over them.

No problem,and since that text sample was so small,I did think at first it was upside down and horizontally flipped haha...btw,im a big font freak lol. I love working with them in my artworks.

It looks up side down and backwards,I rotated it and flipped it,it looks to say Step with the arrow bein the p (?) and the number 9...so STE-> 9. Ive found these two fonts,thta look closely enough.

Ooo,even better XD Well I tried and thanks for sharing,it's a really kool with that picture effect in the preview :)

Since there isn't actually any dedicated 3D blend option available, you have to go this way here, see:
3D Text 3D Text Effect Via Bevel + 3D Effects settings Hope that helps?

Sorry, without knowing what you do, work, sell, think … and what the concept is, it doesn’t make sense to suggest something specific.
 
Not difficult to create logos with any letters for professionals. Please read a suitable book before you start, because the logo is the most important element of corporate design.
 
A cool blue would be cool for a cool logo and gradients are mostly not a good idea for logos.
 
Not a good idea to think about what fits on websites. Good idea to think about what fits to the things you do.

Hello I am a huge fan of both affinity designer and photos, and own both of them! I just wanted to share some of the work that I have done using the new symbols tool in the Affinity Designer beta. When I got into sacred geometry mandala illustrations, I used smart layers inside photoshop. In the last month, I've recreated some of my past works and created new designs using the new betas.
 
I'd love to thank all their development teams for creating such incredible and intuitive vector applications. You allow me to effortlessly create designs in Designer and quickly export them to Photos to add nice image/gradient masks and effects before submitting the final render.
 
Here's some of the works I've created. I have them all on my Instagram as well (@garetmckinley).

I wanted to share a project I completed using Affinity Designer. I worked with a client to redesign her interior design business logo. You can view the work in my portfolio by visiting this link.
 
Aundra Skinner Interiors
 
I know my client is happy with her new logo. I would love to hear what others think as well.

Here is a most recent image of mine taken while on holidays with my family. It made Ricoh Imaging's photo of the week this week on facebook and since Affinity play as much a role as my Pentax K3II did for putting this image together, I thought I would share here.
 
There is a story behind this image:  2 years ago, almost to the day that this image was taken (this past Tuesday, 1 day late) my wife and I lost a baby. It would have been our second child and we were super excited about it but so very devastated when she miscarried. All our hopes and dreams for the little one vanished, and our daughter had a difficult time understanding that she would no longer be a big sister. Even though we never got to meet the little one, I always felt that it (we never found out the sex) had impacted my life positively; my little ray of light in the darkness of the night. I had never really taken up astrophotography until this moment, but this situation led me to want to capture this image, as a bit of a memorial; A lighthouse guiding the way under the light of a billion stars. I tried for this shot in November of that year but due to the Milky Way season ending in October and the weather being pretty poor, my K20D and Pentax 14mm F2.8  couldn't quite get the job done. Fast forward a year. My wife paid for naming a star after our little one, Bella-James, in the constellation Cygnus and arranged for my family to give me some money for my birthday, as she thought I could buy a telescope or a new camera to take pictures in memorial of our little one. After much consideration, I opted to buy the Pentax K3II with it's astrotracer function and have been practicing with it for a year just so I could get this shot. This is Amphritite Lighthouse in Ucluelet B.C. Looking southwest on Sept 27, 2016 @ around 8:30 PM. Shot with the Pentax K3II and Pentax 14mm F2.8 lens. 3 images: stars tracked for 3:00 minutes at ISO1600 and f4 and two static images for 90s at ISO1600 and F4 about an hour after sunset at 7:08 PM. Composited and edited in Affinity Photo. I had wanted to get myself in the image, with a flash and diffuser, sending my little one off, but it simply wasn't safe to try scrambling over the rocks to get to where I needed to be in 12s.

First full day free to myself for a while and Ive been using this style in a lot of client work over that last couple of years, so thought Id see what happens if I'm not watching the clock and pack it with shading and detail, really quite please with the outcome. I'm going to add some characters to this next week if I get another free day.

First logo done for client with
AD & Wacom Intuos pen tablet (M).

If you mean that you want this

 
instead of this

 
you just need to drag the shapes inside the big rectangle in the Layers panel:
 

 
If you drag an object while you have 'Snapping' turned on, green vertical lines and red horizontal lines will appear as you drag.
 

Hi there guys!
 
Thanks to your help I could finish my first logo for a Health, Yoga, and stuff Company. Above the logo!
 
Once again thank you very much for your help!
 
 

You could use a gradient fill with two overlapping nodes at the halfway point, but it might be simpler to align two semicircles so that there is no gap between them.

Hi all,
 
It's been a while (don't ask) but I'd thought I'd update this list. There are now 18 tutorials on the channel, more to come. Created to enhance your skills and knowledge of Affinity Photo & Designer and take them to the next level. Don't forget to subscribe to stay up to date.These were created before the 1.5 Beta but you'll still benefit from them. If you would like to see anything in particular just leave a comment below.
 
They are all FREE and always will be, why? Because 1. The apps are so awesome and changed the way I work  2. There is such a great community on here and 3. Matt P is really cool  ;)  (thank you).

Hi there folks!! 
 
I need your urgent help with this work Im in. I have designed this logo (please see pic attached) but I have a problem with the roots holes. You see the client wants it without background, in a PNG file. But I had to put the roots holes in white, if I remove the white roots holes, the logo looks awfully horrible!!! Can you help me please? I would like to know if there is a way to put holes with transparency?

Yes, you can definitely use the 'erase' blend mode on those 'holes' to get them to cut through the brown area. You could also select all the white 'holes', then click 'Layer'->'Geometry'->'Add' then select the brown area and the new object you just made and then click 'Layer'->'Geometry'->'Subtract' and that will leave you with a brown shape that has the holes in it.

A quick fix would be to set those white pieces as "erase" in the blend mode drop down in the layers panel... Then export as a png.
