My first work in Affinity Designer.

In my search for alternatives to Adobe's Creative Clouds (without monthly payments subscriptions) is Affinity Designer the tool for me to replace Illustrator. The only thing I miss in Affinity Designer, is better print and export opportunities with crop marks and bleed options.
 

I'm a brand new user, and have been enjoying Affinity Designer.
 
I haven't yet explored beyond the "Draw" Persona, but in many ways, the program hearkens back to the simplicity and power of the MacDraw / Claris Draw programs, but brought into a more modern world.
 
I've been playing around with geometric tilings. This design has hundreds if not thousands of curves and filled areas, and I haven't really run into any performance problems (yet).
 
I'm looking forward to seeing how far I can go with this!

Here you can see my first try of making a low poly portrait 
:) I think i chose a pretty difficult person (the big forehead and the glasses) but I think for the first try it is okay. It took about 2 hours without coloring, I hope I can color until tomorrow ^^
 How do you like it so far?

Hello everybody,
 
I've created this double bill poster of Laurel & Hardy. This year marks the 125 years anniversary of Stan Laurel's birthday. These two movies are coming to the big screen in England, Scotland and Ireland.
 
Using my sketch as a guide I created this poster completely in AD. This is my first larger artwork in AD.
 
The first release of AD was a bit too unstable to me, but much has improved since the update. So, I'm very pleased working with this piece of software.

Best,
Soren
 
 

The first thing I did when I got AD is practice and learn by reproducing some Spongebob Squarepants images from scratch. I dragged and dropped a couple jpg's from wikipedia onto my desktop for reference, and just started drawing and experimenting. I found this to be a good way to learn the software. AD is AWESOME!!! All you SBSP fans out there...Voila! 

Here's the latest work in the gallery, hope you like this illustration and thanks for sharing ;)
 
 

Hey Folks, this is my first attempt at using affinity designer. I really love drawing in vectors, all my works are 100% (pure) vector illustrations, and now I'm glad I found AD - an awesome tool …  think we're getting married ;)

Beginning of an occasional series celebrating the icons of my youth...
 
 

Hi everyone. I am new to Affinity Designer. I really love drawing in flat color vectors at the moment, so this is my first attempt at using AD. I didn't realize there was anything in the help files at first so it's mostly just trial and error. The interface is fairly intuitive but I admit I am having some challenges figuring out how to keep line & fill colors consistent.
 
I'd love to be able to select a line or shape and simply eye-dropper from an existing one. And I can't seem to figure out how to drag colors into my swatches palette and there are a few things I'd love to see added but I'll look for a suggestion thread here :)
 
I really love the software already. I hope you like this. Thanks for looking!
 

Recently I had a client for a portrait shoot. She is an actress and someone really talented and full of crazy ideas. The resulting images where very good and but I wanna do something different so I played a bit with Affinity Photo and this is the result.

Designed in Affinity and sent of to the printers, arrived this afternoon, now off to deliver to my client. :D
 
Always good to see the progress and end results, no doubt more work will come from this and then its back to Affinity.

I am not seeing anything in your post...

What's that you say? A new Affinity mascot  :lol:. My Strawberry Monkey loves Affinity so much he's even got his own t-shirt LOL...
 
 

Hello there!
 
Was playing with the new Affinity Photo Beta today. Took me about 2 hours to create this piece. 
 

My girlfriend took a picture of me and I created a vector-based portrait from it. It looks simple but it wasn't for me. I'm still getting used to vectors.

Started learning Designer this past weekend by inking and coloring a Ron Lim pencil sketch I found online.

For my son's middle school

canon raw converter - dpp 4 is already available and it is a big improvement over dpp 3 !   for me the best raw converter is capture one pro.  a very good alternativ is iridient developer.

Hi regarding Q1,
 
Adobe Bridge is for storing, organising and adding metadata to your pictures. ACR (Adobe camera raw) and Lightroom are the applications I think you are referring to. The Develop Persona has similar features to those both, yes. Only in this case you would just head back to the Photo Persona which would be a similar workflow from ACR/Lightroom to Photoshop.

Is this the model you were hoping for?

First in my series of RayGuns: Noisy Cricket from Men in Black.
 

This is my second design, the first time I've created an image without using strokes. I know its not Christmas sorry!

Hi all,
 
as I've been quite taken by various jobs I haven't posted here for a while Besides being invaluable for everyday commissioned jobs (e.g. quickly creating assets to be used in Flash animations), at the time I did a couple of more illustrations in Affinity which I haven't shared yet (I was kind of reminded by the fact that I'm doing a new  - slightly more elaborate - one at the moment)
Here you go, back for more soon

Greetings,
 
My first post....
 
I just downloaded the trial version on Sunday and finished my first illustration.  
I'm looking forward to hanging here around and picking up some good tips.
Love the program, will be buying once I get back from Vacation.
 
Cheers,
Jollo
