When I export to PDF it appears to works fine but I'm not sure if it should look like this re the language: # SOCIAL MEDIA - INVENTARIO v2.pdf, I used PDF for Print, it might be a good idea to let us know what your PDF settings are.

Remember people may not have the fonts you have used and will get a font missing warning.

In any artwork, the techniques can be seen in the art.
Artists of all levels have their own style, this is how they represent what they see. You need to develop your style and the only way to do that is to practice and play. Try making a drawing of that image with a pencil, it can be a sketch nothing fancy but the techniques you use to make that drawing are transferrable to a Drawing Tablet/Screen. There is no wrong way to make art, there is your way.
Study the image, I don't mean look at it, I mean really study it, look at the light and shade, look at how the shadows fall, look at how the image is in sections, so the grey tarmac at the top, the painted logo on the ground below and the car on the tarmac, notice the texture of the tarmac and the rubber left on the surface, notice how most of the image is blurred, continue to do this until you start to understand the image and what it consists of. Once you have that in your head you can start to draw. Never give up, use whatever tools are necessary for you to create your art, that can be tracing paper, grids, whatever you need to use to get an image you think looks OK.
Some people will sketch a drawing first and then scan it in, all techniques are permissible.
With digital art the first thing you need is a Drawing Tablet or a Drawing Screen, when doing Photo to Art, a mouse just isn't up to it.

@h_d what are you recording your video's with?

Maybe the developers changed the name, but iO Crafter seems to be called iOrnament Crafter these days. The two apps are offered in a bundle (imaginatively named iOrnament Duo) which I'm about to cave in and purchase.
I knew you would, it was just a matter of time before the wriggly worm tempt ya lol!
-
Few more pertinent questions would help like Operating System, Affinity app version etc

It’s only as a result of a huge amount of effort on my part that I’m managing to resist posting an outline drawing of a baby grand here!

There are specialty apps that can do that, but fractal generation is way out of the scope of affinity. You might be able to get a pseudo effect using duplication and mirroring but at best it would be tedious. If ever Affinity used Scripting it might be possible but I wouldn't hold your breath.
Apps such as Mandelbulb and Mandelbulb3D are excellent Apps, JWildfire also does amazing things. All of these are Multi-platform.
For iOS there is FraxHD.

@firstdefence, what app did you use to create the fractals. I realy like them
The fractals were made in an app called FraxHD and to get the kaleidoscope effect I use Pixelmator (iOS). The animation above was made with iO Crafter using Conformal Maps. FraxHD and iO Crafter are iOS apps, Pixelmator has OS X versions too.
I keep badgering the designers to make Desktop versions of FraxHD and iO Crafter but they are fighting me on it. iO Crafter also has a companion app Called iOrnament which can create tessellated patterns and those patterns can be exported to iO Crafter.

@firstdefence Your Fractal Kaleidoscope Gif should come with a health warning!
I've just lost half the morning being mesmerised by it... I eventually regained consciousness slumped in the chair with my chin on the mousepad.
It's just too beautiful to look at.
-Caution: Do not drive or operate heavy machinery in its presence.-
...however, I do thank you so much for posting it!
Kind of you to say.

@dutchshader lol, I like your idea, looks neater.

Take a look at this doc: 3D text example + history.afdesign
This is just a rough sketch but I think you'll get the idea. I've saved the file with its history so you should be able to scroll back from the History Panel to see what I did.

By the way, I love the kaleidoscopes on your instagram!!
Thanks, I'm a bit obsessed with Fractals lol, just been playing with animating them.

Is your explanation correct? Moving everything to the left keeps them aligned lol! I think you need to clarify your problem.
Trying to merge layers will not work, you can group layers and that will keep any gradients intact, but merging them will destroy the curves individual characteristics.
To group layers just select the layers you want to group, right click and select 'Group'
Sometimes it a good idea to attach the file in question to the post for us to look at or create a file that demonstrates how things are laid out.

I don't know if this is possible on iPad but I think this is a way to do it on the Mac Desktop Version. It might be similar on the iPad Version.

@firstdefence thanks! That's a great suggestion
I also added a blur filter. The result is now live: https://www.1001ideas.org
Thanks again!
Much Better. Like your idea's too, the door one is a good idea but a word of warning on that is the Car fob scam, when the fob is out of range the door locks automagically, the only issue with that is a fob signal can be jammed by nefarious people as has happened in the past and it sounds like the car locks but it doesn't, the only way to know for sure is to pull the handle, so you are back to square one. If it could be done in such a way that a signal cannot be jammed you have a worthy idea that could make you a rich person.

Is this drawn, text or something else?
Upload the designer file.

Yes that should delete all the brushes under that category

I've combined all suggestions
Curious for your feedback
Very funky, what matters is if you like it and more importantly if your "Better Half" likes it
But... if you want to go with colour harmonies lose the red and replace with: #958aff

Just had a mess around, it's just a quickie try and my tablet decided to be awkward so any brush work was done with a mouse so not really what I wanted it to look like but its not bad for a mouse thing. Oh I think I've saved the history so you can scroll back on the history panel to see what I did.

Sembra un download corrotto. Dovrai scaricare nuovamente il file exe.
Google Traduttore
It looks like a corrupt download. You will have to download the exe file again.

Unfortunately there is no such functionality in Designer or Photo.
You can link hotspots to other Artboards in Sketch but its pretty basic e.g create a back button on Artboard 2 and draw a hotspot over it to link to Artboard 1
Achieve Ripple effect similar to photoshop

There is a ripple filter in Affinity Photo under Filters > Distort > Ripple but it acts like ripples in a pond.
