Chris Heath Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 Hi I’m putting tutorials together on Skillshare about designing with grids, and I use Affinity Designer as my vector drawing tool of choice. Some teachers feature the software they use, e.g., Ai in the title and/or cover image for the class. What is Serif’s views on the use of the name ‘Affinity Designer’ and logo in third party tutorials, and are there any usage/style guide requirements?

Chris Heath Posted October 6, 2017 Author Share Posted October 6, 2017 Thanks Alfred I'll try to track down who to contact at Serif. Or if someone at Serif sees this, please let me know who to contact. Background: My tutorials are design focused with half the focus on drawing by hand, and the other half on reproducing the hand-drawn image using vector drawing tools. None of my classes set out to be a "How to Use Affinity Designer" tutorial; so not using Affinity's brand assets isn't a problem for me. Someone suggested I identify Affinity Designer in the title of my classes, so I thought it wise to make enquiries. I noticed that there are third-party tutorials on YouTube that use Serif's branding, and at least one on Skillshare, but as to whether they have permission to do so, I have no idea.
