  1. In this video we are going to create a takeaway coffee cup. It’s beginner friendly and an easy project to get started on. We will cover many tools in this tutorial but I’ll take it slowly and teach you step by step so you can follow along with me. Affinity Designer V2 (2.3) Used in this tutorial. https://youtu.be/LFMAdOMuWyU
  2. 🇬🇧 Hi, attached is a short video concerning the centering of objects: in one of them (the left one), there is a mask which partially obscures another object which overflows. The centering is not correct. I had never noticed this “indelicacy”!… 🇫🇷 Bonjour, ci-joint une petite vidéo concernant le centrage d'objets : dans l'un deux (celui de gauche), il y a un masque qui occulte partiellement un autre objet qui déborde. Le centrage n'est pas correct. Je n'avais jamais remarqué cette “indélicatesse” !… Oops-Center.mp4
  3. I began the illustrations for this in AD V1, but it went on the back burner for ages. I recently finished them -- all in V2 -- and yesterday I put the video together. Billy Bennett was a very popular 'comic turn' on the Variety stage in the 1920s and 1930. He specialised in songs an monologues, includng parodies of well-known 'straight' monologues.
  4. Latté anyone? Curious to see if I could realistically replicate latté-art. Created with Designer v2.3.1.
  5. This is an update 1.1 of project Akili. Which version do you prefer? Thanks. Tools: Affinity Photo, Affinity Publisher Let's connect: https://www.behance.net/bah-is-life https://www.instagram.com/bah_is_life/
  6. I recently illustrated a Zebra Swallowtail Butterfly (Protographium marcellus) for my brother. He wanted a photo, which I did not have, so I decided to create an illustration for him instead. I used AD v2.31., but spent a lot of time in the Pixel Persona. I also made a few trips to Affinity Photo for a few features that AD does not support. Hope you like it.
  7. I am having trouble with Affinity Photo and Designer(Mac OS) today. When I open the app it asks me to sign in?? After signing in the app crashes. It did manage to open once but the toolbar is floating and will not dock(weird), then after a minute it crashed again. Tried opening again, and was asked to sign in....then it crashed everything was working fine yesterday, but I am unable to use the app at all today. any suggestions thanks crash report1.txt
  8. Version: 2.3.1 OS: Mac OS Sonoma 14.3.1 Hardware: M3 Max 2023 Macbook Pro 16" Issue: I am a long time user of Affinity Designer. I normally use a 16" 2019 Intel Macbook Pro and have had no issues on both Affinity Designer 1 & 2. I have now recently switched to an M3 Max Macbook, which is significantly faster than my older Intel machine. However, Affinity Designer 2 on the new machine is very frequently laggy (zooming in/out and panning very choppy, obvious lag when clicking between objects) even with very small documents containing a small number of items. Other times it goes back to normal with 0 lag. I am not running any other high-demand applications while using Affinity Designer. I have checked my performance settings but everything is set very high, including the use of OpenGL. Is this behavious normal? Is there something I am missing? Has anyone else encountered this issue? Would appreciate all insight, thanks!
  9. Hi everyone! I recorded this quick tutorial on how to draw the Tik Tok logo in Affinity Designer. I hope you guys find it interesting.

  12. In the “Resources” section, I posted all of the vectorized pictograms that I used to create these visuals in the form of Assets…
  13. The plural of "rabbit" is "rabbi", right? Well anyway, here's an illustration I did for my wife (the rabbit fanatic...we have owned as many as 7 at one time!) Done in AD v2.3.1, with a few trips to the Photo Persona and Affinity Photo for some filter effects. I created two Artboards in AD so I could create different versions. Hope you like them. Cheers.
  14. The 'Erase' blend mode in the appearance pane does not work on fill and stroke. When setting Erase in the Layers pane everything works as expected (the whole object including the stroke erases the objects behind). This is not true for Appearance. If setting the blend mode for stroke or fill to Erase it just makes the stroke or fill invisible. However, the other modes in Appearance seem to work. For me this would be very helpful if it worked correctly. For example when combining to cliparts, which technically overlap, but visually should not and one is cut out around the other with a distance. Now I have to set a stroke, expand it, subtract the expanded stroke from the object, etc...
  15. This started off life as a quick colour study for an oil painting I’ve been planning and wasn’t meant to be anything more, but - as usual - I started getting obsessed with adding the detail, and so here we are. I’ll still work on the painting, but I’m really happy with the vector version so thought I’d share. Hope you like her!
  16. ... or one of those typical forum discussions. 🤔 😉

  18. Borrowed from days of yore: "Roses are red, Violets are blue . . ." and now with days of more: Gradients are handy And Merging is too!
  19. Hi, I had to discover this the hard way: with text rotated by 90° transformed in a bitmap image and downsampled. What I had done was to export my Designer image for reuse in another program. Therefore, I used the factory "PDF (for export)" preset, believing this was the one preserving all the details of the original Designer file. Not so. Is there a reason for this? Wouldn't one want to preserve the original elements when exchanging a project? In any case, I customized the preset to avoid rasterizing, and choose to include the advanced features in the exported file. It seems to work as expected. Text will remain text, even if rotated. But I would like to understand the reason for the factory settings, and if I'm doing the wrong thing in choosing that preset when exporting data for reuse in other programs (in my particular case, InDesign). Paolo
  20. I did a fun illustration today. The original design is by the artist Laurel Burch...I love her work. I used a small JPG I downloaded as a template. Most of it was done in AD, but I did use some raster brushes in the Photo Persona, so it's not 100% vector. I also added some texture with a Lighting Filter and a Bump Map, created in Blender, which gives it a bit more variation and personality. Hope you like the final result.
  21. I want to create some symmetric flourish swirls but I’m struggling with the symmetry part. For example with this shape: I can kinda drag the handles to be as close as possible but it’s not quite there. I tried to convert the object to a symbol, mirror it and then adjust it but this is also not making things easier. What’s the best approach here? How do I know that a handle on one side is as long and the same angle as the handle on the opposite side?
  22. At the moment, the appearance panel does not work very well for groups. I think it would be useful to be able to give a hierarchy for strokes and fills for the whole group. For example, the ability to display strokes for all objects on one hierarchy level, instead of one above the other.
  23. Greetings All, Happy Valentine's Day! This was created with Affinity Designer using 3D, inner and outer shadow effects and various brushes. Roxanne
  24. I saw the following web page https://www.msn.com/en-gb/entertainment/tv/a-beautiful-paean-to-doing-things-at-your-own-pace/ar-AA1loCzT I like the picture. How in Affinity Designer would a person best approach trying to produce effects like those in that picture please? In particular the leaves of the tree in the left foreground, yet also the clouds. William
  25. I think it would be useful to have a tool in the Designer to offset an open path. At the moment I don't see such a possibility. There are workarounds e.g. using Contour Tool and splitting the path, or adding extra Strokes in the Appearance panel. I am not sure if a separate tool is needed for this. Maybe it would be possible to extend the functionality of the Contour Tool by adding an option to offset the path when it is open, instead of making a buffer around it.
