If you’re completely new to graphic design and you’ve never opened a creative app before, this video is for you.
In this video, I’ll walk you through:
• What Affinity actually is
• How the app works (Vector, Pixel & Layout studios explained clearly)
• The difference between vector and pixel design
• How layers work
• How to create your first document
• How to use shapes, text, effects and basic tools
• How Affinity can be used for logos, posters, photo editing, branding and more
By the end, you’ll understand how Affinity works, how the interface fits together, and how to confidently start designing without feeling overwhelmed.
