A few mini movies I recorded utilizing Affinity Designer

Affinity Designer Mini Video Tutorials

I recorded some extra brief ‘mini videos’ utilizing Affinity Designer on helpful subjects with little ideas and methods. Just a few of them are based mostly on the weekly challenges within the Facebook group ‘Affinity Designer – hands-on’ I run. Others had been replies to questions on social media or simply concepts I wished to strive. I hope a few of this may turn out to be useful.

This is a continuation of the mini tutorials posted earlier and extra mini tutorials. I’m nonetheless at a loss on the way to put up them on the weblog. Sorry concerning the messy posts. Check them out on my youtube channel.

This mini video tutorial makes use of the Outer Glow FX and Outer Shadow FX to create some glowy results. In this video, I exploit fundamental shapes, the pen instrument, gradients, and fx [mainly outer glow and outer shadow along with Gaussian blur] to create some shiny glowing bugs.

In this video, I exploit letters and three fundamental shapes [circles, rectangles, and teardrop shapes] to create an illustrated alphabet. Using solely easy shapes and 5 colors [set as Global Colours] you may create wealthy and attention-grabbing designs with out the necessity for drawing, pen, or pencil instrument expertise. I exploit the letter D for this video and add a duckling and a few waterlilies as ornament.

I hope you take pleasure in these ‘little videos’. Let me know within the feedback what you consider the shorter codecs and put up questions you might need! As all the time, your suggestions is essential to me!
