- The Affinity Designer for Beginners eBook takes everything from the video course, and converts it into a written guide. You can read at your own pace, and easily follow along in Affinity Designer. There are over 100 lessons, spanning 800+ pages.
Just as Serif is taking on Photoshop with its Affinity Photo editor and InDesign with Affinity Publisher, so Affinity Designer sees the company competing with Illustrator. This particular app was the first one to be released as part of the Affinity range, and over the course five years development has been strong.
Affinity Designer is a vector drawing app that, despite being amazingly cheap, offers professional-level tools that can be used for all manner of projects. While this is clearly a rival to the likes of Adobe Illustrator and Sketch, you'd be forgiven for initially dismissing it as being underpowered. But don't be fooled. Serif describes this software as a 'stripped back, pro-end workhorse', and it's absolutely right.
Designer can handle huge documents with ease and gives you the option of switching between vector and raster workspaces, and the ability to work in RGB or LAB color spaces at up to 32-bits per channel. There is a wide range of vector tools available in the app, and vectors can have an unlimited number of strokes and fills for maximum flexibility. Grids and guides are advanced and powerful, and the isometric option will be welcomed by many users.
Estas son las mejores aplicaciones para iPad disponibles en este momento, desde aplicaciones de productividad hasta aplicaciones para viajar, leer. Affinity Designer is the perfect iPad app for designers like you, and this is the only course you'll need to master Affinity Designer. THE BIGGEST, MOST COMPREHENSIVE Affinity Designer course for the iPad in the market today. James and Andy from our docs team (with a some help from Charlotte and Sean) have created over 60 video tutorials to help you learn all about Affinity Designer for iPad. Encased in a lovely platform (as you would expect from our web devs) the video tutorials also showcase the amazing work created by leading creatives in our special beta. With subtitles available for German, English, Spanish.
For anyone switching from Illustrator or collaborating with Illustrator users, the good news is that Designer can open AI and EPS file, although sadly it's not possible to save as AI. There are a number of both pixel and vector brushes depending on which mode you're working on and, importantly, performance is impressive.
For all of its brilliance, Affinity Designer is lacking in a few areas. It's a shame to see that there is no support for scripting or animation, and also that there is no plugin support.

- Various stability and performance improvements
Verdict:
Affinity Designer is an astonishing achievement by Serif; this is a highly accomplished design tool which fits beautifully into the Affinity range and serves as a genuine alternative to the big names such as Illustrator.

The team have worked really hard on the production values, and it’s not easy creating video tutorials on a building site—with accompanying sounds of fire alarms and drills—for an app still in beta that’s changing all the time! We acknowledge we have some issues with sound in these vids, it’s something we hope to improve on in future. Anyway, here’s James doing his sound check (sorry James, I couldn’t resist)…
