Affinity Designer: Beginner's Introduction Course

Interested in Affinity Designer as an alternative to Adobe Illustrator?Maybe you’re looking to add VECTOR design skills to your creative portfolio Enrol now and get familiar with THE best alternative to Adobe Illustrator: Affinity Designer!

Important: This course includes video material on predominantly Affinity Designer Version 1 (V1). However, I included enough BONUS material that covers Affinity V2! If Affinity V2 is not shown, then it automatically means that what I’m teaching still applies to both V1 and V2. Those are still essentially the same programs, with a few small differences which I’m covering.

Affinity Designer is a powerful design program that is fantastic for both vector and raster art. It is a good alternative to Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Fresco and Photoshop. It doesn’t require any subscription, you acquire it for a single payment. It enables a whole new way of working by allowing you to combine vectors with raster.

In this beginner’s course, we will be focusing on getting to know the tool from scratch, so no prior knowledge necessary. This class is suitable for both beginners, as well as for more intermediate artists who wish to transition to Affinity from other programs, and they need some help to get the hang of it. By the end of this class you’ll be able to create a simple vector illustration using Affinity Designer.
