Fantastic work, nice touch your signature on the shield.

I've been posting on the forum here since Designer was released in 2014 but I've never posted anything of my own in the "Share your work". I'm always impressed by what others post and it inspired me to post something of my own. I chose this picture because it was so complex and it was overwhelming the amount of objects that I had to draw but I used it as a test to see how far Designer has come and I have to say that it has come a long ways since it was first released. Designer never quit or locked up on me and it performed beyond my expectations, especially on a project with so many boolean operations. I took an image that was done originally by the amazingly talented Gustave Doré and redid it completely in vectors using Designer. I did everything "by hand" as they say, I didn't use any kind of vectorizer as I feel that the results are never good enough. I also did the whole thing with a mouse, no Wacom. Somethings had to be created from scratch as the original was damaged in places so there are actually many differences between my version and the original but I think I've been able to maintain the spirit of the original. I've included some screenshots of the outlines to give you an idea of how many different objects there are. I'd like to give a giant "Thanks!" to MattP and the other developers for all their hard work. I'm especially thankful to them for adding a "Hide/Show All" command into Designer. It helped me greatly with this picture and I look forward to seeing what they will think of next.
 
Thanks for letting me share.

I was going to do this drawing in Illustrator but read about Serif/Affinity wanting images for their 1.6 promo material so thought I’d give AD a try for the first time. This will be my submission and it so happens the GTI had a 1.6 engine early on. 
 
Hopefully any Golf aficionado will recognise it as an imaginary custom series 1 Mk1 Golf GTI (1.6l 8v) in Miami blue. It’s been de-wipered, lowered, smoked lights, chrome bumpers, no arches and some really nice alloys you can’t see! I couldn’t decide on the colour, either Mars red or Miami blue. Obviously went with blue but the body just uses a single global colour so easy to change my mind later. 
 
All in all it went fairly smoothly, if you know Illustrator you pretty much know AD. Some things I really liked, one thing I really didn’t (I’m looking at you layers palette).  Overall it was fun and good practice. Never used so many gaussian blurs before.
 
As it's bank holiday weekend I've a little time to go back to it and tweak it if I decide I need to.

Affinity Designer vector illustration of my daughter at 19-days old.
 
No pixels or vector brushes used here, just good old fashioned strokes and filled paths. Masks, transparency tool, layer FX and blend modes used where needed and a couple of adjustment layers to tweak the colours at the end.
 
I'd guess there's around 2,000 elements make up this image - around 500 are individually positioned head hairs, and many of the individual wool strands are actually three strokes twisted together too which ups the object count. With all the blurs and depth of field stuff, it nearly kills my MacBook and takes a good 20+ seconds for the screen to redraw after every zoom or edit on high quality view settings - spent a lot of time in wireframe and low quality mode at the end. When I get a faster Mac, I'd like to add some of the less important detail that's missing to make it more convincing  (e.g. the almost invisible eyebrow hairs, more detail to eyes etc.) and tweak some of the bits that are annoying me.
 
No idea how long it took as I've been working on it on and off in my spare time (which is practically non-existent with a baby) since December - I'd estimate 30-50 hours.
 
Anyway, hope you like it!

Hi All 
Just thought I would have a rest from working on the Brush Library.. So I have been experimenting with isometric layout options in  AD over the past couple of weeks!

Hi everybody,
 
80s retro graphic design for a famous french DJ (and a friend).
He asked me to illustrate his podcast channels. We have validated together a retro 80s design style with all the codes of this period.
Here are the first two design of this project ... Fully made with Affinity Photo.
 
Enjoy it :-)
 
Note : I hope the 1.5 version will solves the issues I met during the process.

Hi. Looong time Photoshop user here, my first PS came on floppy's. I still use Adobe professionally at work but I wanted a cheaper photo editor at home. An alternative who isn't bogged down with options I never use / touch. So Affinity it was! Black and white colorization was on my bucket list for a long time. So I used it to learn Affinity Photo. Learning new techniques along with new software is generally not a good idea. But AP passed on all fronts. I like it so much I even use it as my personal photo editor.
 
I'll update this thread from time to time if it's appreciated. 
 

 

 

Hi guys! I'm a Brazillian designer and i am getting to know Affinity programs to use them in my works.
This is my first work on AP. Can your guys analyze it?
Your opinion is very important to me.  ;)

  Thanks!  

No, I didn't do a Designer rainy Saturday design. This is the Designer design I did on a rainy Saturday.  :lol:
 
The goal was to experiment with resources including Enrique's Frankentoon fab Pattern Painter Brushes (USD$6 same as free in my book) and the Awesome Gradient Set provided by cjclip (USD$0 absolute free), @
https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/23960-awesome-gradient-palette-for-affinity-designer/
 
Hey, one of the many things I learned in this experiment: The incredible tip to CTL-C one vector and CTL-SHIFT-V it to another to pass along the properties... WORKS ON TEXT TOO! Cool! (I'll let you Apple people decipher the COMMAND key codes  :P ).
 
@Alfred 'cause you can't resist asking: I didn't add the iso automobiles because I didn't get the STOP/ALTO signs vectored yet and did't want to cause a crash!  :P
 

 

Hey folks,
 
Been a wee while but I'm back at creating creatures with Affinity Designer (and paper & pencil). Instead of adding a new topic for every one I make, I thought I'd start this new thread to put them all in and show them off to you all.
 
So here's one for ya! :)

For the ING bank that I am working for, I made some webpages and PowerPoints slides. Here is an example. I don’t want to show off, because there are far better people than me, but just to inspire newer users to just keep trying and practice. It doesn’t mater if you think the design sucks, there is always something to learn and to improve your workflow.  :) 

Nice, bookmarked!

A few items are crossing DIV or COL boundaries, whichever you used. It is hard to check everything out in all browsers these days, right?!

Work in progress... lights are kinda random right now.
 
 

A First Foray...wow!..puts me to shame!. Really like the colour choice and design.
 
Would be good to see similar design outside the 'k' boundary restriction...if you know what I mean :)

Hi,
I have created a UI and I want to deliver to the Dev. team the exact positions and sizes of all components, aka graphic specifications...
There are tools and addons that support this tedious task in PS.
Is there a way to do it in AD?
Thanks in advance... 

The first thing i made is a simple sign up UI. I have not focused much on alignment as i just wanted to just create something quickly at first.

Hi,
 
here´s my first steps in Affinity Designer. I worked long times with CorelDesigner and with Affinity Designer i can work faster and had a lot more fun :). For the Atari 400 and Atari 800XL  i had a photo reference and for the Gameboy my SolidWorks 3D model exported as DXF. With CorelDesigner i converted it to PDF to import and edit in AD. 
 

 

 

Thanks for this tool !
 
Hope we´ll get an API or JavaScript/Python for Designer/Photo soon   ;) .
 
Greetings,
René (3DPeek)
