mpowell Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 There are many tutorial on YouTube. They can be found by typing "Affinity Designer" or "Affinity Designer Tutorials" in the YouTube search bar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, I’ve looked before and now and found a few may have to take parts from what I can find, and maybe apply some drop shadow, I can only try again . Thanks I’ll look into this weekend , trying to wine me self away from photoshop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
