    Jens Krebs got a reaction from Kathrin in eBook Cover with Affinity Designer and a little bit of PS   
    Hi Kathrin,
     
    really like the cover, just have two tiny tidbits:
    - in my opinion the line "Omas …" should be stretcched out to the width of the authors name
    - I'd personally also find another font for the main title, in my eyesit's neither cookie-ish nor christmass-y
     
    As said, everything else, including the border and the choice of colour are very, very nice. :-)

    Good Morning :-)
     
    I want to share my latest work for a cover of a cooking book.
     
    For this I used AD and a little bit of Photoshop (there I have some eCover templates that I dont want to miss ;-)
     
    What do you think?
     
    Have a nice day!

    Nope, but it has been requested several times, so the developers know about people wishing to do so.

    You'll probably be more interested in Affinity Photo, which is going to be in Beta soon.
     
    You should still check out Affinity Designer though. We have a trial version available.   ;)

    Hi everyone,
     
    This is just a quick message to let everyone know that the Mac App Store update of Affinity Designer 1.1.2 is about to be released. As soon as you get the new update, your beta version will stop loading. We will have this problem fixed within a couple of hours of the App Store update, but you can work around it if you wish by running the beta before you update, now the beta will continue to run and not be affected by the update.
     
    It's worth noting that the Mac App Store version is the same as the current beta version with the exception that it didn't have the OpenType GPOS support changes and the brush editor dialog was a slightly older version. Aside from that, I think there are no benefits of being able to run the beta instead.
     
    We will update the beta as soon as possible after the Mac App Store update and have a new version back up for you with a range of new changes including dashed lines - hopefully within a couple of hours after the update goes live.
     
    We are sorry for any inconvenience this temporary change causes.
     
    Thanks again,
    Matt

    Jens Krebs reacted to MattP in PLEASE READ THIS: Sharing Guidelines   
    We've had a query about what is viewed as 'acceptable' content, and what our stance on it is.
     
    This topic is one which is typically fairly volatile because everyone is so different and what is acceptable for one person, can be shocking or inflammatory to another. We don't want everyone to feel cautious about what they click, just in case they are faced with something they'd rather not see, but we also don't want to discourage people from sharing the amazing work they've been creating, so... We think the simplest, clearest thing to do is:
     
    If you think your image could in any way be described as controversial...
     
    - Start a new topic with an appropriate title
    - Upload your image to a sharing site (Flickr, Behance, Instagram, etc) - you can even use the 'Share' link in the app's File menu
    - Write a proper description of your work in the body of your post and add a text link to the image you have shared
     
     
    Now, if people think they'd be offended, they just don't have to click the link and they won't see it at all.
     
    Thanks,
    Matt

    No reference, just playing around with Affinity Designer. I really like the brush engine. I tried to limit myself here to just BW on X shortcut one brush, one size. Only few white highlights added with opaque round brush beside that.

    Jens Krebs reacted to Dave Harris in Use font collections   
    It can. If you use Format => Character => Show Character, the collections from Font Book are listed at bottom right. We can't edit those collections yet, but we can use them.
     
    Currently the Font drop-down in the toolbar can't use them. It's on our list of things to do. We had planned to have it list most recently used fonts at the top, and then all the other fonts afterwards. We'll have a think if showing other collections would make sense. My feeling is that most recently used ought to be most generally useful, and then you really want all the fonts available. Collections would make more sense in a Studio Font tab.

    Hello Guys! 
    I made a small tutorial about the similarities between the Adobe Illustrator/Affinity Designer basic tools.
    I thought there might be some people coming from Ai who are interested.

    Hi Tathaniel,
     
    I think the shortcut is Cmd + ;
     
    In the future we'll have user-definable keyboard shortcuts, probably with some defaults that map straight on to other programs too

    Jens Krebs got a reaction from MattP in New Logo Please!   
    I actually like all three detailed logos. They show how detailed and fine-tuned the applications are and also reminds me of the good old days when you could read "This is for the crazy ones" inside the Pages (or was is Keynote) logo when zooming in.
     
    In regard of the inconsistent naming, I think you have a good point with "Photo" not really fitting in with "Designer" and "Publisher". "Photographer" would be perfect but, as said, might be misleading. "Editor" is to generic and "Imager" is kinda … weird.
     
    @Dale: Even though "Aff" is indeed part of the word "Affe" which means "monkey" in german, that shouldn't be a problem at all, the three letters are pronounced differently and the chance someone might connect a monkey to a computer in their head is relatively slim.
     
    A bigger issue is the term "persona" since "PERSONA" is a well-known contraceptive in Germany … I have been grinding my brain for weeks now on how this one might get translated without ending up weird.

    Jens Krebs reacted to ALx in New Logo Please!   
    Regarding naming, there's a bit of inconsistency to me with names Designer, Photo and Publisher. Shouldn't it be Photographer? I realise it's too long, so maybe Retoucher? This way you avoid the problem with abbreviations, too — AD, AR, AP. You welcome  :)

    Hey guys,
     
    in my opinion it is quite irritating that the color of an active document tab is the opposite to all other active / inactive tabs like
    Colour, Swatches, Stroke etc.
     
    I think it would be less irritating if the active document tab has the same light gray color like the other tabs and
    the inactive document tabs should be darker.
