Excellent work
Beautiful structures, colours and balance of textg with graphics.
Well done indeed.

Hi KipV

Congratulations on getting the book published. I know how much work goes into that, and getting the formatting right.
Do you mind me asking you if this is a true story.
We care for a profoundly disabled young man Grant, whose birth was completely normal, and then 36 hours after birth he started having seizures. At the time he was only given from one two two years life expectancy. Well we have been caring for Grant full time since was 18 months old. He is now 29 years old. Although he has a profound brain injury,  is non-verbal and fed through a PEG, he is in himself happy and contented. He will be with us for the rest of his life.
Best wishes to you and your family and bye for now.
Paul.

Hi, I'm Dale, copywriter, tech author, blogger, demonstrator and a few other things. I've joined the Mac lads (and ladies) so I can use and abuse Affinity titles and other Mac software and help make it shine on our website, in the press, and social media accts.
 
If you think the way Affinity apps are described is inaccurate or missing the point, hit me up and I'll make it better. If there's a tutorial you're desperate for, let me know and I'll raise it with the documentation team.
 
FYI the soppy little cat in my avatar is Rorschach.

Hi all.  Lots of familiar names.  I can't even spell MAC, and I've never even touched one.  So, I'm on the lookout for an inexpensive MacBook hereabouts.  The Mac side of Serif intrigues me, and I'd like to get in on the ground floor of this.

Hello, I'm Chris. I've used a few Serif products before and I've been a mac owner for a long time, so I'm excited I can finally get some serif action on my mac!  :)

I'm Ali. I don't have a Mac, but I'm curious about this new Serif development. It's interesting to see people here that I thought had 'moved on'!!! Anyway, good to be here, even if I lurk more than I post.

Hello, I'm Naz, an avid fan of Serif titles. Never has much luck with drawing apps until I met DrawPlus, so very keen to get to know Affinity Designer.

Thanks for the welcome, Andy!
 
If you're sitting comfortably.....the MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display. It had to be a laptop because my workhorse souped up desktop with decent sized monitor will still be my office computer, and I couldn't work with a smaller screen.
 
And it's going to have to pay for itself, that's my motivation. I have a niece who designs and sells to Liberty, etc etc, so I have something to work towards (and we'll be able to discuss Macs, now). Also, I'll never give up CraftArtist but I'm well into the stage where I want to be working with my own original designs (aspirations for the DT shop??).
 
Virginia Woolf famously said  'a woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction' - this is what I've bought, a room of my own to create graphics. Can you tell that I'm excited  :D  :D  :D ?
 
Thanks for the link - bookmarked  :)

Hi, I'm Hilary Hartigan, AKA sunset. I always said that when I retired I would buy a new (electric) piano. Yesterday hubby asked me which would I prefer, a piano or a Mac. Let's just say that the Mac will arrive in the next few days :) And, after working my way through Windows 3.1 to Windows 8.1.  I am going to be a complete novice with the Mac.
 
I'm a total fan of things Serif but I really need something new as 'I'm all scrapped out' (a CraftArtist expression) and I don't want to get left behind on a Windows-Shelf. This looks different and exciting and fresh. By trade I'm a part time lecturer (computing out in the community), a self employed publisher and designer (but looking to change tack), a family history researcher and recorder (nearly finished) and a lover of logic and order. I have a head overflowing with ideas  :D and tons of ambitions  :D . I hope that I can make a useful contribution  :)
