My first successful sky replacement. An abbey in England, courtesy of Pixabay, and a morning sky, from an Osprey Cam, in Maine. 

Let’s call the whole thing off!

I'm designing a trifold in AP, I love how fast everything is especially the resizing of the text. I can't wait to buy this awesome product.
Here's the outside of the trifold, this is just for learning and adjusting to AP.

I love it. Perfect balance between cuteness and elegance.
BTW, at first I thought it was an animated gif, because It seems too move a bit.  Just an optical illusion. It happens when I look to the original too.

It's not perfect but it's a first draft.
 
Happy to accept recommendations of a better way to achieve this look?
How would you go about it? Is that different to how I've gone about it?
 
Maybe it would be better for me to group the objects into different depths, each with a different z-order and drop shadow?

I am Adobe-free since december 2014. I keep Photoshop installed just for checking .psd files exported from AD, and for the ocasional warping. Once in a while I need to do basic video editing work (like adding a gradient map to a bunch of stock videos to make them homogenous and on-brand), but since Photoshop can handle that, I really don't need After Effects / Premiere.  
Back when Macromedia was a thing, I was 99% pro-Illustrator, mostly due to FreeHand's poor interface. I guess I couldn't wrap my head around the notion of creating things with a tool developed with such disdain for aesthetics. But then when Adobe acquired Macromedia, I was really mad at Adobe for letting go the opportunity to blend both vector apps in what could have been the best vector software ever. That feed my fear of being dependant to a huge monopolistic company that seem to believe it is ok to purchase something just in order to shutting it down. Both from a market view point and an ethics view point, it was bad news not only for FreeHand users, but for Illustrator users likewise, because it gave as a glimpse of the tyrant Adobe would become. Not just a tyrant, but a lazy one too.
Good soil for the Affinity seed to grow. I was so eager to escape that I gave Pixelmator several opportunities, with no success.
BTW, I feel the same way regarding Apple. A gorgeous jailhouse, but a jailhouse anyway. I'd love to see a rising competitor make Apple focus once again on the Mac, and that can only start to happen if they stop taking users and customer for granted.

Thanks. You could do that now as SVG fonts are starting to be supported, so you can can have colour, gradients etc. Would be quite fun but would need some planning to give them a consistent look. 
 
A quick go at colouring it.

Or most things starting with V! Bit of a doodle, I was going to have it as a solid pattern but liked the look of sort of capping the top and bottom and leaving some background.

made with designer, just one curve with a gradiënt duplicated.

I'm in love again.
That flat shading is clever, specially the triangular pattern in the solid rocket boosters. Wow.

I'm working on creating my own game in Unity and I've updated one of my old hand drawings of the leading character with AD. Looks good AD and it took a bit of getting uses too after using Photoshop. Still in progress, want to add shading and the finer details.
First drawing is the hand drawn one, and the second is the work in progress in AD. I also used AP with an Apple iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil to sketch some of the new elements first before adding them to the image in AD.

Just a bunch of icons for a telco.
 
 

 
 

Tribute to Elon Musk's inspiring SpaceX corporation, in a retro-futuristic poster style. Hope you like it.

Hello !
Here is my last creation made with Affinity Photo. This creation is an hybrid between photo retouching and digital airbrushing to obtain a retro 80's airbrush style.
Enjoy it ! [^_^]
 

 
Lot's of layers ... [^_^!]

Redesign concept of the Steam client. This concept aims to make the navigation of the app more intuitive and giving it a clean, smooth, more visual appealing design overall. More screens will follow in the future.
What do you guys think?

(revised version of Original project)

Hi Affinity folks,
I just wanted to share my first "programmer art" created with Affinity Designer. I'm a software engineer by trade and have always wanted to be able to draw. Recently heard about AD and have been having a blast the past couple weeks. I find the GUI very intuitive and fun to work with (it even runs on my 2008 MacBook Pro ).
Currently hoping to make a little 2D game using Unity in my evenings and weekends (we'll see how that goes).
Would love feedback though -- I just finished the airplane, helicopter, and tank but would like to continue iterating on them to be less flat (perhaps with gradients?) and add more detail. (I just realized the quality of the colors isn't great in the uploaded screenshot, oh well).
Thanks for looking. 
Paul

Hi all Affinity-leaning creative types, here's a recent cover piece completed for a Canadian magazine entitled Aboriginal Business Quarterly based in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. The theme of this Spring 2018 issue is Transportation and Infrastructure in Northern Canada.
The snow and ice are finally melting, making way for a busy season of road work/maintenance and resupply shipping - by boat and float planes equipped with skis - supporting various remote communities and industries. 
It's another example of my Affinity Designer isometric styled compositions built up using a limited colour palette, simplified elements and extensive use of gradients... And of course the awesome isometric grid feature.
For those interested, there are more views of this piece on my Behance site.  Hope you like. :-)
