About this course

This course teaches Affinity Designer as a complete production tool, not a toy Adobe substitute. You will move fluently between the Designer, Pixel, and Export Personas, draw clean curves with the Pen and Node tools, build reusable assets and constraints, and set up colour and export so your files come out correct the first time. By the end you will have designed a small logo system and a multi-artboard asset set, exported to SVG, PDF/X, and pixel-perfect PNG.
