[Dog in the Park - second vector image]

Looking good Jon. Keep it up...

[Designer Document Background Colour?]

Call me old fashioned... new bottom layer, rectangle, fill with colour, lock layer, soldier on ;-) 

[Insecto Design Artwork]

Love the reptile dude, the subtle use of noise and retro feel it has. Your style seems perfect for AD.

[First icon designed in Designer]

Great job Barry, welcome to the family!

[First Affinity Artwork, "Seasons Greetings"]

Nice job Jon, I like your drawing style and the use of the grainy shading. More!

[Some ideas for a new DAUB website (and hiring for a JS killer...)]

Yeah baby, get'er done Paolo! Start making some coinage! ;-)

[Typeface design (WIP)]

Cool Milos, what app are you using to generate the font with?

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.3.5.4)]

Haven't given it the full test drive yet but did some playing and loving it so far. 

[Watercolor splash]

Nice effect! Lot's of potential.

[Multipage board: Creating several pages in the same document.]

Yep, this is a very much requested feature. Sounds like it's coming soon. :-)

[Making a flat version of my profile picture...]

Looks like a good start, but I think the 3/4 view of your original says more than the straight on view. Have you considered doing the same 3/4 view just as a flat version?

[Affinity Designer Customer Beta (1.3.5.3)]

Do I smell artboards and multiple pages...?  :rolleyes:

 

That would be sweet! Regardless I can't wait MEB.  :P

[My weekly comic strip!]

I agree eejits. The crossover potential of various styles with this suite is just getting started. The combinations and possibilities are literally endless. It's very exciting.

[My weekly comic strip!]

I agree, nice style and sense of humour! I remember tinkering with Expression as well... glad you found Affinity, these are great.

[How do I add a page?]

Cheers MEB and MattP that sounds promising. :)

[How do I add a page?]

Hey MEB any news on the artboard timeline? 

[Want to write for Smashing Magazine?]

Not this time around for me. They were looking for more of a UI/UX web design type of tutorial. 

[What IS a user-defined rotation center?]

Yep, a simple example might be say you have a box or rectangle and you want to change it to a keystone shape. I'd like to be able to go to the direct selection or node select tool, select the bottom 2 nodes and scale them inward all in one move. I'm really missing this ability currently. Of course this is a simple example and I could just grab each separately and move them but it's more work, and compounded over a large piece... well you get the point. :-)

[Affinity Designer - Layer isolation mode]

ronnyb's got it! ;-)

[Cutting Tool]

I'm really missing a vector eraser tool as well. :-)

[What IS a user-defined rotation center?]

I would love to see user defined rotate or scale locations in Designer/Photo! Combined with the ability to scale or rotate individual nodes.

 

Pretty please? ;-)

[BNoolean operation]

I'll give the new version a test too. Booleans are a big part of my work flow. A non-destructive workflow would be awesome, as long as it doesn't become a mess once "applied". :-)

 

Speaking of which, I have yet to "expand" a stroke yet with the new beta... hope to see some improvements there as well.

 

Cheers Matt for all of the hard work.

[Equal distance auto gaps]

I was going to suggest the erase blend mode as well. It's in AD and it's awesome.

[Installing Portraiture Plugin]

Hi Lee, whats the portraiture plugin?

[Prefs Drop Down Menu Issue]

I initially had this happen to me as well, but it seems to have corrected itself... and is working as expected now.

 

Using 10.9.4
