affinity designer Fun with Greek Patterns (possible 'symbols' feature request)

[TheMightyFozz]

Had fun playing with the symbols feature I did this little Peloponnesian sketch.

I would like to manipulate every other 'spiral' in two separate symbol groups. So is it possible way to separate some symbols but keep the separated ones linked so I can edit both groups later.

(for example create a alternating convex and concave curve on the outside of the pattern )

If anyone wants to use this for a project feel free. it only took a few minutes to create. I just wanted to test the feature.

Oh yes, you can have hours of fun with symbols -- they're addictive! Especially with this kind of design . . . 
Now, this is not quite what you're doing, but a few years back I made some brushes to create Greek key patterns. If they're of any use to you, you're welcome to download them from the link in the topic below. I made them partly as an exercise in brush-making, so if you're new to making brushes, you might find it helpful to click the brushes' 'More' tab to see how they're made.

Doing that kind of stuff is the entry drug on the slippery slope to madness. From Greek symbols to Spirographs to Mandala´s all the way to fractals, reach that point and you are doomed.

Hi,

Agree with @Slammer, a slippery slope but very good for familiarising yourself with Affinity and inspiration for larger projects.

On the subject of Greek patterns, I recently created my version of a cover of a game called Agon. (https://rpggeek.com/rpgitem/292344/agon-2nd-edition)

I created a few Greek Raster Pattern brushes. I will upload them to the resources if anyone wants them, when I figure out how to do one of those brush sheets that everyone seems to use.
