[Design and Graphics]

Good morning all,

I'm a graphic and web designer based in Washington, DC. I started when I was really young but only in the past few years have started getting anywhere near what I'd call a professional level. My degree is in political science with a minor in theatre (!) but computers haven't ever been a mystery for me.

I currently am on a 2006 Macbook Pro using Photoshop/Dreamweaver (though I usually hand-code my HTML & CSS, I'm a bit of a snob that way). I have Master Suite so I sometimes play in the other bits of it. My web/graphic design kit also includes a small-ish Wacom tablet and a couple of WD MyPassport external drives. Oh, and Dropbox saves my life.

I'm starting to plan my move from the political/media/press side of things into more design work, and I'm always interested in hearing from other design-types.

 

 

Hey! I would love to meet up and chat! Have you made the transition, yet? 

[Meetups or Trainings in Washington, DC]

I am looking for designers who use either Affinity Designer or Photo to learn and create with in the Washington, DC.   

This may not be the best platform to say this, but wanted to start somewhere. 

Hope to hear from someone soon.

Greetings! I am teaching myself how to use Affinity Photo iPad. I am trying to resize my graphic but I can not see on the canvas the true size of my artboard even if I use a border. I am trying to design a poster size document 18"x24" (46x61 cm).  I also tried to change the color of the canvas but could not figure out how to do that as well. Any help or videos to assist would be helpful. Thanks!
