I want more, so fun to watch.

Hi all,
 
I've just been sent this little link: about a group of today's Photoshoppers, who were asked to use PS Version 1.0 and see how the slimline software started off.

This should be a trip down memory lane for some and a history lessons for others. (Win XP/Mac OS 9.22 and Photoshop 6.0 for my first taste.)
 
But more importantly, this a lesson for the APh detractors. There are plenty of things missing right now/on the roadmap.
 
So go easy on the app's limitations: it's STILL useable and that's what matters B). So for a Beta, it's still better (Than PS V1.0) :ph34r:

Hahaha! Makes me proud a tell thee, makes me bloody proud lad!

Good Idea Peter, but I am already onto the next animation for them, then I have some other work to do for another client, then I got to work on some training, then I have to work on a bid for another project and sample composite, then create some videos for my youtube, etc. In theory, I would like to but, man there just not enough hours in a day lol!

Nice. It's hard to let go of a project. A bit like a being a surrogate mum. It's not your baby, even if you did the hard work :huh:. That's why they pay you for your efforts.
 
The fact that you want to tinker it again means you enjoyed the commission.
 
Sometimes a logo has 5 or 6 variants (Facebook for example), all with the key ID markers: font, colour, size, background, border and outline etc. Each is the same, but subtlety different.
 
So why not create/tweak the next generations and stock pile them, until the client wants the next season's logo?

I am no artist by any stretch of the imagination, but I enjoy pretending to be.
Anyway, this is my first attempt at something with Affinity, and I'm rather proud of it:

Nice work Ronnie!
 
Peter, I was hoping for a pic of a dancing apple with the "10 years strong logo" on it...  ;)

Just started using AD and thought these eggs looked pretty cool, so here's mine!
 
He's a cute little guy :wub:
 
 

Sorry for the delay and the bad english in the video :D As a german it's pretty damn hard to get into this headspace while thinking what you want to say. Here is the link to the video:
 
3D Egg Effect in Affinity Designer
 
Hope you enjoy and find it useful :)

You can rotate an egg and give it a transparent elliptical gradient fill to make balloons also

No, you're right. There's no Affinity Designer icons in list view on Finder. I've logged this to be looked at.
Thank for raising this issue.

Looking forward to more great work like this; as for the for the AD 10 anniversary logo, the job's yours ;)
So Keep up the good work and get creative.

Very nice work, Russell, and what a great idea to learn AD by reproducing classic album covers.

Yeah, download the free Affinity Photo Beta and see how nicely it integrates with AD. Specially the LIVE editing of embedded documents... 
 
 
 

I actually prefer Paolo's palette, richer cyan sky and purple shadows... perhaps the only thing that works better for me in the original is the brightness of the image, which goes well with the audience and subject, but we're splitting atoms at this point... the image is fantastic! 
 
Love the ACME EGGY, LOL!!!
 
 
 

Exactly!

Hey! Paolo great work man you!. I know you not completely happy, but I will take your "not completely happy with it" work any day hahah!

C'mon man! You're making my belly ache from laughter "far from an artist," lol...
 
I've seen some great use of monochromatic textures as brushes/layers used with displacement mapping to create authentic textures. Is thats something AP can help with?
 

Meep Meep!
 
KoB has done it again!

Lookin good Ronnie. It's pretty cool that we can do these things in Designer with a ton of control.  :)

Just wonderful, brought back such good childhood memories! I would love to see a video of your painting process in AP... I bet it would be very popular here on the forums, just sayin'... ;)

Hello,
 
I go by the name ONSO and it's a pleasure to meet all you. I have been a creative all my life — one that works in both traditional and digital mediums. I've been looking for an Adobe replacement for quite sometime and when I saw Affinity Designer in the Apple App store I was hooked — I downloaded it and never looked back. The only Adon'tbe software I have on my system now is Acrobat. I'm hopeful that the great team at Affinity attacks that as well. I truly want to divorce Adon'tbe all together. So, please keep doing what you guys are doing and I'm yours forever.
 
Thanks for giving us something better.
