Hi all, I thought I'd give myself a quick project to explore Affinity's Shape tools and make a series of images. I've made some fish like creatures, but other themes could easily used, like monsters, faces etc. I was thinking this idea could help new users learn about the Shape tools and generally have some creative fun. When I get a few spare moments, my intention is to further embellish each shape with colours, different fills, backgrounds, text etc Note: the bitmap fill is from The Shizzle Style and Brush Pack (Grizzle 1), the paper texture is from True Grit Texture Supply (Folio-Vellum) and additional line shading is from Artifex Forge's Vintage Engraved Patterns (Pattern 6). Yes, I have splashed out on the Spring Sale offers!

Infected This is my first drawing using Affinity Designer 2.0 (A revamped version of the colourful Lena which I have not uploaded!) It is really a test of the updates made to the Brush Dynamics in Affinity 2.0 Created a new set of inking brushes that makes use of interpolation and the new Distance options with the brush dynamics. I have found that the brushes are much smoother, faster and more responsive..I really like the ability of 'Distance' to allow for the tapering of the nozzle. Even though you have to adjust the direction of the graph! Affinity Designer 2.0 original 400 x 400mm | 300dpi Brushes inker | Comic Grunge and Concept Painter

Here I'll show you an architecture magazine that I design annually with Affinity Publisher and oversee the printing and production. In the beginning the magazine was created in Indesign. After I got out of the Adobe subscription, I adapted it in Publisher and now designed it in AP for the fourth time. At the beginning there were problems with embedded customer PDFs; these were not passed through but were always somehow interpreted and therefore incorrect. Since ver. 2 this has been a thing of the past. You can view the entire magazine as a digital edition here. Have fun! Servus Ernie

Es ist schon erstaunlich, was aus meinem Affinity-Projekt mit meinen digitalen Heften geworden ist. Daran habe ich im Sommer 2021, als ich begann, nie gedacht. Auslöser war sicherlich der Hype um die Affinity-Suite, aber auch mein Einsteigerbuch zum Publisher, das im September 2020 auf den Markt kam. Ist das alles schon so lange her? Nun ist mittlerweile das M62-Heft Nr. 20, auch ein Sonderheft ist kürzlich erschienen. Viele meiner im Laufe der letzten 3 Jahre geschriebenen Artikel sind aus meiner täglichen Arbeit heraus entstanden. Auch einige Themen in den Affinity-Gruppen bei Facebook wurden behandelt. Heute frage ich mich, wie ich in der Zeit insgesamt 516 Seiten schreiben konnte. Ungezählte Stunden habe ich mit Recherchen, Screenshots, Tüfteln und Ausprobieren verbracht. Mit jeder Ausgabe sind neue Leser und Leserinnen dazugekommen, nicht selten wurde ich auch privat angeschrieben, um ein Problem zu lösen. Also, näher kann man am Leser einfach nicht dran sein. Zudem wuchs auch meine Internetseite mit vielen unterschiedlichen Informationen stetig an. Wenn etwas mehr Zeit übrig bleibt, werde ich diese weiter ausbauen und erweitern. Für die aktuelle Ausgabe Nr. 20 habe ich wieder sehr interessante Themen gefunden und ich darf Ihnen wie immer recht viel Freude beim Lesen und Ausprobieren wünschen! Freuen würde ich mich auch einmal über ein Feedback der Affinity-Macher, denn mein Projekt ist in Deutschland einmalig und hat mittlerweile viele Freunde/Freundinnen gefunden! https://magazin62.de/

My brother bought a new place and requested I make him a poster on human evolution using the skulls. It took a while to research and decide what would work and to weed through alternative ways to present to timeline. The images were draw in AP and it was set up in Apub. The illustrations separately are on 15x15" canvases and the printed poster will be 12x18".

Here is a series of macOS application icons. The idea is to redesign them as simply as possible, fitting them perfectly into the frame (grid template) defined by Apple, without embellishment and flatness. A simple graphic game for fun (you can exploit them as you wish)!... Voici une série de reprises d'icônes d'applications de macOS.

These are some projects done in Affinity Publisher, but took it just a step further to see what they'd look like placed into mockups. The three projects are "Aurelie", "Jovan" and "Komodo". Affinity's built-in stock images feature really helped, especially with the amount of iterations I had to make. "Aurelie" "Jovan" "Komodo" "Komodo" View 2 All the books together

Hi there forums! I have been using Affinity off and on since Publisher V1 came out, I have 2.x ready to install but I'm waiting on some upgraded hardware first, so I'm still using the version 1.10.x apps for now. I mostly use Publisher, but I am learning Designer and Photo some. Prior to this I used mainly Microsoft Publisher and Paint.net as there was no way I could afford the Adobe products. So thank you Serif for making Affinity so affordable. Anyhow, I thought I'd share a three-fold brochure project I just turned out for my wife's accounting firm. I'd love your opinions and critiques. Thanks. Jared Finkenbinder Proximitas Local Marketing, LTD Alpha TaxHelp Brochure.pdf

Greetings from someone who never used desktop publishing software until age 75. (Admittedly, I was a programmer/analyst on the mainframe IBM360 during the 1980s.) However, my previous experience is thus analogous to a dirigible mechanic trying to fix a modern fly-by-wire fighter jet. Back in my misspent youth, I was an historian, a museum curator, a darkroom technician and magazine editor, and wrote several books and many articles. With some book projects that had been rusticating on the back burner for decades, I shopped around for a powerful, yet affordable, publishing software and kept coming back to Serif Affinity. I purchased the suite of programs and the updated versions and have not regretted that decision. After the steep, but not daunting, learning curve from knowing absolutely zero to being able to actually produce print-ready pdfs, I edited, designed, illustrated and published a three-volume introduction to (U.S.) Civil War paper ephemera, and a reprint of a Victorian "dime novel" between August 2022 and February 2023. I'm currently in the final stages of resurrecting the works of "Bracebridge Hemyng," a nineteenth-century London barrister-turned sensational novelist who created "Jack Harkaway." A friend created a video "book trailer" on YouTube for the Civil War volumes: The books average about 300 pages each, with hundreds of illustrations in full color. And here is my preliminary cover design for the upcoming "Jack Harkaway" biography/bibliography: Still discovering the ins and outs of Affinity Designer and Photo, but they have made these projects much easier and allowed total artistic and editorial control. My message is: If an old geezer can do it, go for it!

Latest A5 mock-up. Hardest thing was getting the bleed alerts right on the PDF check

So my good buddy calls me says I need a CD/album cover in like a few days. Apparently, as we artists are the last to learn there's been all sorts of contemplations that the designer is only privy to after significant procrastination. Then come to find out that a late night decision the release is to be under their newly independent label. This has no effect on my process. I've done many graphics for the band, and even played in a side band or two with em. So yes, of course I'm in. The title track is a Burt Bacharach cover, so the idea was to make the 'album' cover appear as a dusted out 70's LP, replete with the 'I've been sitting in Mom's basement' look. Here's the final. This is the first time I've used Affinity Suite exclusively for a project like this. Just wanted to share. The suite works well, glad to do a full project with it. Thanks.

Hi, I took all the pictures, edited them (not with Affinity Photo) and created a super simple catalog (with Affinity Publisher V1+2), which also got printed (for private purpose only, with additional pages like imprint, foreword, introduction etc). It was easy and a joy to use Publisher. Thank you, people from Serif.

My French Adventure is her site where folks can purchase the pdf eBook. Publisher worked well except for the paragraph spacing. Under the Paragraph tab spacing and leading do not change the spacing unles you make huge jumps in the leading. I may be doing something wrong, but I had hoped for much more control of my text. Let's hope they continue to make strides in the function of this program! Other than that, Publisher works very well😊 Ned

Just a simple flyer for local promotion. I took visual cues from their website as I was only provided with a photo and sponsor logos.

This is one my side projects for 2022. I run a FaceBook group on the BOAC Speedbird aircraft and "The BOAC Speedbird Adverts" book which contains 133 rare adverts (B&W and colour) from 1940-1970. The adverts were cleaned up using Affinity Photo and the cover was put together with Affinity Designer and of course the book was put together using the Affinity Publisher.
