Description

Learn to Create Beautiful Graphics on this Comprehensive Affinity Designer on the iPad CourseThis is a comprehensive course in Affinity Designer on the iPad V2, starting from scratch for complete beginners, through to advanced techniques. Using the new v2 for iPad version, I show you the techniques and concepts using touch, gestures and the Apple pencil. You do not have to be able to draw to complete this Designer on the iPad course.  Using real life examples, I will demonstrate and give you exciting projects to carry out so you can easily put these into practice for your own artwork, graphic design work and marketing materials. Whether you want to get paid for your Designer skills, or you're doing this for fun / self-improvement, this course and the projects will help you build confidence to be able to translate into your own work.I will take you through Affinity Designer on the iPad by first looking at a specific set of tools and techniques, and then reinforcing your knowledge in these with a step-by-step project at the end of most sets of lectures. The projects range from simple logos and icons, through to more complex posters, into in-depth graphics and UX design. All the content can be adapted for both print or web. During the videos there will also be key phrases that appear to help you remember tools, shortcuts and techniques.Music by Pixabay and Bensound
