If you know your bikes then this isn’t the first one that comes to mind when you think of the iconic Cinelli Laser but this is a much rarer Laser although there are more types than you perhaps think including a track tandem. I heard that only 5 were made and only 2 are known to have survived. One is in private hands and I’m guessing the other will be in the Cinelli museum. It seems that there is only one photo of this bike on the net. Although the largest version of it is a decent size it’s of poor quality as it’s a scan of a small’ish photo in an old Cinelli brochure. All in all this is made up from about a dozen different reference photos of the components mainly taken at different angles. At first glance it looks quite simple but was actually a decent sized project and took far longer than I expected. It’s A0 I size. Ignore any interference on the wheels it only shows in the uploaded version.

Thank you to @R C-R for helping me with measurements on the iPad to get this BG repeating pattern perfect! It seems that if I make sure what I all my measurements are whole numbers (including Artboards placement.) I also typed each number manually and added three decimals (.000). For now Designer doesn't show anything past one decimal, so I just made sure that everything was good even though I currently can't see past the first decimal. I'll share what it looks like on the fabric once the sample comes in! And keep up the great work Affinity! Your iPad app is a game-changer for my work! All the Best! Stephen

This is an image I colored using Affinity Designer on the iPad. I love all the quick masking I can do without having to juggle and edit clipping masks, like in Illustrator. I created the raster line art in Medibang Paint for iPad; traced the art using Inscape; and finished the art in Designer, including making the BG pattern. I still have to tweak the BG print to fill a couple holes, but I really enjoy working in Designer to add the Pizzazz! If you are interested in the tracing presets I use in Inkscape to create a close-to-perfect trace, let me know and I'll post it here. For anyone who is interested, years ago I did a comparison between using Inkscape and Illustrator. http://www.segtsy.com/2012/04/adobe-illustrator-live-trace-vs-inkscape-trace-bitmap/ Here's a step-by-step for Inkscape. I have adjusted my settings since this post. http://www.segtsy.com/2012/04/bitmap-tracing-live-trace-with-inkscape/

I purchased AP and AD-AP has some cool features, but pretty much disappointed with AD-for me to switch entirely from Adobe Illustrator, i would at least have to see these features introduced/developed: ---------------------------------------- 1) export eps (and/or native file format) files with transparent backgrounds. 2) distort filters ie distort, roughen, zigzag, etc. 3) image tracing capabilities 4) vector brush effects 5) gradient mesh ---------------------------------------- i don't like the Adobe subscription model-i think it reeks of greed. If Affinity charged for upgrades in the future, i wouldn't mind paying for them, as long as they could rival Adobe with similar features like the above (that i can't live without). I praise Serif for their efforts so far, and i agree a designer should be able to own their own tools, much like a carpenter. But i can't make the full switch to Designer without these features introduced. I was very hopeful when i first purchased, but eventually disappointed. Thank you for hearing me out. -
This morning I downloaded and installed the trial version of Affinity Designer and decided to have a go at producing something straight off. Please find the result attached. I would have put my name in the PDF as author. I asked about adding my name in as author some time ago regarding Affinity Publisher and was informed how to do it and I did it successfully. But I have forgotten how and although I have searched for the thread for a while this morning I have been unable to find it. I was wondering what to draw and then I had an idea. There is a thread that I started. https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/83288-pantone-and-palettes/ So I decided to use one of the palettes that can be found by following links in the thread (one link for the palette files, one link for their descriptions) and be inspired by the name of the palette and the Pantone colour of the year that is included in it. I added the palette that I chose for this learning experience and then used it. I noticed the Vector Brush Tool and just selected a colour and drew. I am using a laptop and although there is a panel for pointer movement on the laptop itself I (thus far) always use an external mouse unit. William design_influenced_by_choice_of_palette.pdf -
Bought the program to do some mapping work, but had a chance to play with it today (storms kept our customers home, so what can I do about it?). Based very loosely on an old 1940s International Harvester pickup. All my work except the coca-cola logo on the drink machine.

Hi everyone! I'm a calligrapher, and I've just opened my calligraphy business - clearly the first thing to do.... create my logo! I did the calligraphy with a Wacom tablet and then edited the lines a bit etc to make it neater / thicker where needed. Simple but fun... and now onto the rest of the tutorial videos

Making web buttons and nav bar for client. This is the 2nd time I've gotten an unhandled exception today, then I lose what I started with. I try to remember to save ever so often, but only after 5 buttons I got this again. This time has to do with getting assets I've saved. I do always fill out the exception message along with my email, but I never hear anything back. Also, I saved a bunch of icons in assets and they did work, but now when I click on the dropdown I made, it doesn't do anything. I love this program, but I can't continue working like this. Also, is there a "save as" function? Thank you

Hello - A graphic designer has created an AI file with transparency, and I want to add this file (which is a logo) into Final Cut Pro. From what I've read, the easiest option yielding good results is to open the AI file in Designer, and then export it using the "PSD (Final Cut Pro X)" option ... So I've done this, and imported the file into an event within FCP. I then dragged the image into the timeline, but unfortunately the transparency is not retained. I'm not sure if the problem is that I need to change how I export the file in Designer, or if that part is correct and I need to do something in Final Cut Pro to get the transparency to appear. Note: In 'Document Setup' > Color, the 'Color Format' is currently "CMYK/8". I'm guessing this might be the problem, but if so I'm not sure what to change it to. Thanks for your advice, Jim -
Hi, I'm new to affinity designer although I have been using affinity photo for a while. I'm needing to convert some type to outlines. Bit confused- is converting to 'curves' the same as converting to outlines and how do I do it? Thanks! -
Hi! I have a weired problem with Affinity Designer... I'm working on the up-to-date version 1.6.5.135 under Windows 10. I have a couple of icons, that I created some while ago (I believe before updating to .135). These icons are saved as .svg and I need them to be pure vectors without rasterized pixel-portions, because MS Visual studio is supposed to find and recolor the hex-color values. I've been careful not to use any effects that were incompatible with SVG (no transparency, no masks etc.) I attach the SVG, I exported some time ago which has been exported without a problem. Opening the .affinitydesigner file also exports without a problem. However - when I re-open the exported SVG and try to save (via export to svg) it (not having touched and altered anything) Designer wants to rasterize certain parts, rendereing the file unusable for me. Is there something, I'm not getting? new export.svg old export.svg original.afdesign -

Can someone please tell me how to accomplish the following two tasks: 1. After selecting an object on my canvas, zoom brings my canvas closer but it doesn't center in on the selected object and I have to manually move the canvas. How can I easily zoom in and center on a selection? 2. After working on a zoomed in object, is there a way to zoom out and center to a full view of the entire canvas with one command? These were functions that I used frequently in Serif DrawPlus but I haven't been able to find the corollary commands in Affinity Designer? Can someone help fill my knowledge gap? Thanks. - Gitana -

After using Designer for a few months now, I've gotten comfortable and efficient with the interface, much more so than with Illustrator. Occasionally, I'll find a small bump and realize that affinity likely has a solution, and sure enough, I either find a tool I had not been aware of online or by myself, following the increasingly familiar Affinity design logic. One tool I keep thinking exists but doesn't though, is color swapping between objects. I love how color swapping looks and works between fill and stroke, which is especially smooth and cool on iPad. As an extension to that, I find the impulse to select 2 objects and swap their fill colors, or their stroke colors. I believe this would come in quite handy and feel very intuitive. As an extension, perhaps cycling might be good as well, basically selecting various objects and cycling their color through each one. When designing, this would greatly help with and incentivize exploration and experimentation. Cheers!

For a current project - made out of a lot of crescent shapes and a few ellipses. The dark colour grey came from the politico . eu website, the yellows/brown from a marketing design set we own. Langauges are English/Welsh (Cymraeg).

Hi guys, i have to report crashes not only in AP as i described in my other topic, but also in AD. When exporting to PNG and trying to save to Camera Roll the app crashes constantly. I have to report also a bug with “Import from Cloud”. When you navigate to a specific folder on the cloud service (webdav protocol) you cannot perform a Search because you won’t get any result or filtering in your list of files. -
I downloaded the Beta version and tried the transparency tool but I didn't find this mode. I found it on Affinity Spotlight - Escapism in vector What did I miss? Thanks for reply or any suggestion.
