AdamStanislav Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 I make some SVG clip art for openclipart.org. I create it in Affinity Designer and export it to SVG. I always have to make sure it is pure vector art because openclipart.org does not accept SVG files that contain bitmaps. I also have to make sure to convert all text to curves because there is no guarantee anyone who downloads it will have the same fonts I do. After I have exported everything, I open the SVG in my text editor and cut out everything I can to make the file as small as possible. Most of it is just simple shapes, like this Cool Cellface thing: At other times, it is just some text, like this little joke: Affinity Designer is really good at designing clip art, though its SVG exports could be more optimized (luckily I am perfectly capable of optimizing them myself, but it takes extra effort).

AdamStanislav Posted August 5, 2021 Author Share Posted August 5, 2021 And just to test the new Affinity Designer 1.10, I used its shape tool to make this silly lantern (though I added an SVG filter in the final SVG code to give it some structure).

I meant to give it some texture, not structure, but with English being my 5th language, sometimes I cannot remember the right word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamStanislav Posted September 20, 2021 Author Share Posted September 20, 2021 And I just drew a long face in Affinity Designer, exported it to SVG, edited that by hand (Affinity really bloats its SVG exports), and uploaded it to OpenClipart.
