COURSE BUNDLE: Vector Assets 1+2 for Affinity Designer

In this bundle you will be receiving 2 of my most popular vector assets courses for Affinity Designer on iPad + extra Adobe Fresco material.

1. VECTOR ASSETS 1: hand-drawn vector assets, for a hand-drawn vector feeling, the biggest focus on the Pencil Tool
2. VECTOR ASSETS 2: slightly more geometric vector assets with intermediate vector tools (Rectangle Tool, Boolean operations etc.)

You will learn everything you need to know about creating vector assets that will boost your productivity and speed up your work.

WHAT ARE VECTOR ASSETS?

Essentially, assets are stored design elements which can be accessed from any document you have open. In Designer, once you create your asset, you can save it into your Assets Panel (or Library), and then you can re-use them over and over again. Uff, that alone saves so much time! By using vector assets, designers can quickly create illustrations and patterns with precision and accuracy.

You can read more on the topic in the following blog post: "Creating Hand-Drawn Vector Assets in Affinity Designer".

FAQ 🤔

• What tools do I need?
  • Any version of Affinity Designer, desktop or iPad, ideally Affinity V2. Optionally Adobe Fresco, which is for FREE, for the Vector Assets 2 course.
• What if I've never used Affinity before?
  • My tutorials are very beginner-friendly and targeted at people who have zero or little experience with Affinity software. They're also suitable for more experienced designers and illustrators who perhaps wish to transition from Adobe software into Serif solutions (Designer, Photo, Publisher).
• Is this course good for beginners?
  • I’d recommend both courses for beginner-intermediate users. All my Affinity courses are very beginner-friendly and targeted at people who have little experience with Affinity or Fresco software. They're also suitable for more experienced designers and illustrators who perhaps wish to transition from Adobe software into Serif tools (Designer, Photo, Publisher). It will definitely help you to transition from beginner to intermediate/advanced.
• What if I don't understand something?
  • If something just isn't clicking, just give it a rest and come back to it later if you're having trouble. Perhaps you would like to join our Facebook Affinity Designer and Fresco group?
