Bonjour, j'ai obtenu ce tracé en modifiant le point avec clic gauche et droit maintenus et déplacement de la souris avec barre d'espace maintenue. Ça ressemble à un tracé qui semble ouvert mais qui ne l'est pas. Accident ou fonction souhaitée ? Hello, I got this plot by modifying the point with left and right click held and moving the mouse with space bar held. It looks like an open plot but it is not. Accident or intended function? quoitesce.mp4 quoitesce.afdesign

Un placer saludarles de nuevo. Comparto con ustedes un nuevo proyecto de arte realizado en Affinity Designer y Affinity Photo. El Diseño vectorial fue inicialmente realizado en Designer para luego rasterizarlo para aplicar efectos de desenfoque, texturizado y ruido en Affinity Photo. Gracias por la oportunidad que me dan de presentar mi trabajo. Especialmente a todos aquellos que han hecho posible el diseño y funcionamiento de esta suite de aplicaciones Affinity con herramientas tan alucinantes y que no limitan nuestra capacidad creativa. Espero sus comentarios. ¡Gracias!

I am wondering if there is a links panel that shows you a list of all images, as in AI where you can choose one and then relink/replace it? I do a lot of repetitive designs where all I do is swap out the image. When I searched the forums here, the closest thing I found was a request for Publisher beta, to add a links panel. How do you replace images in AD?

Hello, can anyone help me, i am trying to subtract the elypse from a bunch of dashes. If i click on subtract i see a blue bar for a long time, but nothing else happens. Appreciate your help

Hello Guys! 😊 Today I'm going to show you this preview of creating the Covid monster enemy in 2D 🔥 this was a challenge to teach Affinity and Vector students about how to create monster from scratch! 🚀 it was a very fun tutorial to make.

Good morning, I'm back with a variation on the theme; japanese wave patterns. The first one is indeed a "wave " pattern; it shows the nearly traditional form of the Japanese wave repeat: This one is uses autumn grass: Have good day Antony

I have some designs that I have produced for printing greetings cards. They are 2171 pixels by 1571 pixels at 300 dots per inch and I have both .afdesign files and .jpg files. The size is 7 inches by 5 inches with a 3 millimetre bleed area at edch edge. I would now like to produce images 2100 pixels by 1500 pixels so as to illustrate in a publication the image on the resulting card. For example, by placing the image onto an A5 size page. Is there a way in Affinity Designer to produce such an image by doing something such as adding a rectangle at x=35, y=35 with width and height 2000 and 1500 and then doing something, maybe called a crop or maybe called something else, please?

Time approaches quickly so here are some Xmas texture styles in case anybody has a need for such things (and as always you may freely use those styles to your likes): Personally I sometimes use such textures for backgrounds on greeting cards and stuff like that here ... Here are the compressed AD style files: xmas1.afstyles.zip xmas2.afstyles.zip Have a nice Xmas time!

Here are some general christmas theme silhouettes as vector assets for reusage in Affinity Photo & Designer & Publisher. The associated assets file: xmas_silhouettes.afassets Have a nice time!

Hey guys, I am a real beginner and thought about buying the Affinity Designer Workbook. My Question is now, are the books even up to date? The Affinity Designer Workbook is from 2016. How much has changed in the program itself and the features... Would you guys recommend me to buy the book or is it not worth it anymore?

Most of this drawing was done with affinity designer. Affinity photo was used for some elements. It was a trial and error process took about a month to complete. A few tweaks have been made.

When exporting a file from Designer it keeps messing up the sizes. Relative the sizes are fine, but the measurements are not the what I set. What I've tried: EPS SVG (with 300 and 72 DPI, with Set ViewBox enabled and disabled). I need the measurements to be correct (I worked in mm, in the document everything is exactly right) because I want to convert it to DXF for CnC. There are a LOT of other similar posts. I've tried a lot of the answers I've seen floating around, nothing works. It always gives me weird results.

Hello everybody! This is the first time I participate in the forum, so forgive me if I make any mistake with the rules, please. I am not english native so my explanation or understanding of technical terms might be short or difficult. Recently I´ve had issues in two situations which involve exporting to PDF using CMYK to send to a printing house. I use Mac Os X Catalina and last version of Designer (1.10.4). Firs case, I tried to export a file that have been created in RGB to PDF and CMYK. The file doesn´t keep the shadows nor the brushes applied as an effect to a vector element. Behind the elements there were blank spaces that appeared in many areas of the canvas. This doesn´t happen when exporting to JPG in CMYK. I don´t know if the problem can happen because the combination of vector and pixels layers in the same file. (Please see file attached: Cover_FueElectrico.pdf). In addition, with a larger file (280 mb), the computer is not able to export a PDF, also in CMYK. The computer doesn´t crash and in the process start to fill up the storage capacity when there was more than 100 gb of free space (the computer advised me to delete files, and the storage descended to 3 gb aproximately). So it was imposible to export the file, and had to copy paste the elements to Adobe Illustrator and export with no problems, only the extra task of redimensionate the elements and some fail conversions with text elements. I wonder if there is a problem with the last update of the program: in May I worked with similar file from which I have reused all the elements to the new I´ve been working during last days. In May I could export under the same conditions with no problems at all. I am not sure if this is the place to comment this. And don´t know if is an issue caused by me because of my work process or some bug with the last program update. I would like to solve these issues as I am really happy using Affinity and want to continue using it. Hope anybody could give me some recomendations to find a solution. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, my name is Robert (aka Deadbyxmas!), I'm an illustrator, animator etc and by accident I bumped into Affinity Designer a couple of weeks ago (I was probably googling around for alternatives to Ai....don't we all), tried the demo (in between paid jobs...hmm) and then, once I had a better idea of its workflow, bought it and got cracking with a few sketches and ideas. As usual I tend to explore new software by trial and accident, without tutorials and stuff, so probably I'm still overlooking a lot of its features - I noticed that every time I use it I find a better way around things etc. - but I thought I'd share with you some of my first experiments. Actually I'm not sure what I can share or not here - there is a pic that is proving quite popular on another social site, but is slightly (veeeeeery slightly, I wouldn't even consider it so) risquè, so you tell me - I can direct you to the external link. In the meantime here's my first (nearly) full illustratration done entirely in AD, included the texture masking. best! r.

I've been using designer for some time to draw detailed wiring diagrams and draw designs for my CNC router. I've recently tried my hand at some art work. These are all vector

Hi, There! Part 1 As you may see, I usually share my process about creating Characters, Items and also Backgrounds! 😎 some of them requires more technical skills, but following the correct methods the Vector can be very easy to handle do not give up 🙂 even if some people try to discourage you.

Last november I published a set of Textured Intensity Brushes on this forum by the cryptic name of CTSR Lines (which makes sense to no one but me). Those brushes have repeating patterns. When creating the brushes I encountered some problems with patterns getting squished and such. I created some more brushes in a second set and came across an additional quirk (which offset values to use for pixel perfect pattern alignment?). So although it’s just a few months ago, it’s time for a revised set. Time to rename my brush making into something else too. I figured out a much faster way to produce large sets of brushes, cutting out a lot of unnecessary steps, so I rename my series Brush Factory. So here’s the set again. Renamed Aspect ratio of 1 in the source file to prevent distortion of the patterns Patterns repeated 3 times in source to prevent issues with repetitions This is new: adjusted the offset values to 80 and 159,4 to have the repetitions align perfectly The Pointy and Round brush families are repeating, the Stripey families are stretched. The brushes all contain a centred line (in 3 widths, S, M and L) and repeating shapes and stripes above or above and below. The brushes with stuff above the line, but not under are therefore not vertically centred on the stroke. In the Stripey families I added 3 lines with a different center point. Those 3 are symmetrical, the extra version is vertically centred on the whole stroke. Source of (almost all) of the patterns is a 240*240px image. This is a rather small image, so in wide lines, the edges of the pattern blur. I’ve created the patterns as a vector drawing, feel free to ask for a brush from a larger source (less blurry) if you need one. @StuartRc says helpful things about the size of sources in this post: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/64287-creating-vector-brushes/ When using these brushes on a tightly curving curve or a sharp corner they of course do deform. Experiment with the brush setting for Corners and the Stroke Cap to find the best solution for your project. The attached .zip file contains a PDF with examples and nine brushes files to import into Affinity Designer. Brush Factory 1.zip

If someone know brushes like this one down here we (with the black edges) I would like to know I would also like to know about any other brush that can be useful for graffiti style lettering

Hi everyone, I'm creating my clothing brand, the only problem is I do not have any of the Adobe software as the ongoing subscriptions are not viable to me. So instead I am using affinity as an alternative software, the likes of Affinity Designer, Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher. I was wondering if you, or anyone you know have done or created any courses that cover any of the following topics within the Affinity software: - Technical Drawing - Rendering - Textile design - Repeat Patterns - Re-colouring - Computer Instruction Or if it was possible for you to point me in the right direction? I would like to thank you all for taking the time to read my thread. Looking forward to hearing back from you. Kind regards,

‘Guilt’ is a BBC Scotland drama series where only the strongest liars, bluff merchants and crooks survive. This is the work I came up with when Progressive Broadcast Hire asked for another ad. It presents their part in the production. I am delighted with the wording; it’s that latent copywriter in me coming out again. It appeared in British Cinematographer magazine.

Designer 1.10.4.1198, Windows 10. I have an artistic text block containing two words. If I select either word I can change its size, its colour, its font, etc. without altering the other word. However, if I select one word and then an effect from the Effects panel, the effect is applied to both words. Should it be?
