Hi Juna, I just bought the Affinity program. I have been watching their tutorials on how to use this. I watched for hours and was still just as confused as I was when the tutorial started. I watched part one and part two of your tutorials and I have to say...EXCELLENT INSTRUCTION! I learned more from you in these 2 videos then I did from watching them. I am getting ready to watch part 3. I was ready to hang it up and now I feel hopeful that I can learn this. You are a great teacher, great instructor!!Thank you so much!!!
I have learnt so much more by watching your videos than I gained from either the workbooks or the "official" affinity tutorials. Please don't stop as you are brilliant. Thank you
I just got Affinity Designer, and have been watching your videos. I am really a newbie, and I am so anxious to learn everything about Affinity. I am so impressed by it. I do KDP book covers, interiors, and I also do Tshirt Designs. I really need to learn Affinity. Most of the time I use Canva, but I think Affinity will take me to the next level. Thank you for your teaching videos. They are very helpful.
Thanks for adding the zoom to this video to see what you are clicking on. Nicely done. I appreciate the video timeline to jump back quickly to areas to review. That's really helpful.
Amazing tutorial for people like me Before I don't know nothing about affinity designer and now I don't want to miss any video thank you for what are you doing
Thrilled to see Part 2! 🌟 Your tutorials are a game-changer for learners like me. Looking forward to expanding my Affinity Designer skills with your expert guidance. Thanks for sharing your knowledge! 🚀
I'm up for anything you want to show us on Affinity Designer. I'm self taught and have been working in Inkscape for maybe 8-10 years. Recently starting using Procreate but then found out about AD. Migrating to AD is quite overwhelming as there is so much MORE potential over Inkscape. Your Parts 1 and 2 videos were extremely helpful. I appreciate you taking time to make them and look forward to whatever you choose to share next.
I love your teaching style! Your pace and clarity are excellent and you are so well spoken with no fillers or fluff. I like the way you are going tool by tool to explain everything. I’m coming over from photoshop and was feeling lost even though there are a lot of similarities in the two programs. Hoping I will see an upcoming video on masking or templates. I want to be able to bring in templates for sublimation items and be able to design here. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. 🙂
Great videos! I've watched tutorials for 5 different design programs, and yours are the best I've seen! Thank you for sharing your talent and knowledge!!!
I've never used the fill tool on Infinity, on this mode, I always switched to 'Pixel Persona' as I recognised the Paint Can Icon as the fill. I Had no clue that was a gradient tool! The ability to create a gradient stroke too. Brilliant!! This is by far my favourite tool for today's tutorial. someone mentions in comments about the creations of patterns, more importantly, for me is the saving & using the pattern file as a swatch. I end up going to Photopea where I am versed in how that operates. So would be a great tutorial to have, its more intermediate level than these basics I realise | Thanks Again Juna | Much Love, Peace & Respect
Amazing, I got affinity when they started the 90 day trial to see if it was worth it and have been watching dozens of channels trying to learn as much as possible and in your two Videos already learned several things I didn’t know about. I watch everything you put out keep up the awesome work. Also once you cover the tools and things if you haven’t planned on it it would be great if you could work up a couple different types of designs to see your process using Affinity and see how the tools work in RL.
Thanks for this second video, Juna. New subscriber here. I just purchased Affinity Designer and will be studying all your tutorials for it. FYI - I was going to do the free trial first, but I contacted AD and I asked if in 90 days I would be able to purchase the software for the $24.99 discounted price, and that could not be guaranteed, so I bought it now; still a great price since it is not a monthly subscription fee.
It's really really helpful video juno sir. Learn from basic is so cool. Watched both videos about Affinity designer. Waiting for part 3. Thank you so much for sharing this valuable information. 😊❤🙏
Would like to see you start from a picture of one of your drawings and work it into a final design- maybe in parts like making your own font and placing the words and another placing and coloring your drawing as using the tools is not always intuitive as to which ones how. I know what I want to do but not quite how. I’ve got my photo of my drawing but how do I crop out the part outside of the drawing? Simple but not intuitive for me. An artist working from his drawing tutorial which no one else seems to do. Creating a font from a drawing just for a specific design is another tutorial i would like to watch you do-maybe i just need to have a deeper look into your videos although I’ve watched most of them-I’ll look again. Thank you for all of your helpful tutorials👏🏻
something i figured out is if you hold your middle mouse button (scroll wheel) it will basically do the view tool while you have any tool selected. and if you scroll while holding that button down it will zoom in and out those are very useful shortcuts that im sure can be rebound if youre on a laptop
I really appreciate these very helpful videos! (I haven't seen you cover the Text Tool yet either) One thing I haven't found is how to insert a new artboard in a preset dimension, like T-Shirt size, while in a document. I have access to choose it (or mask size or whatever) when creating a new document, but I haven't been able to do the same from an existing document. I hope I'm just missing something.
Love these Affinity Designer Tutorials, there are so helpful and I am looking forward to the next one. I downloaded Affinity a few months ago and have watched several videos to learn, but have found your videos to be the easiest to follow. Thank you so much.
Great video thank you. I’ve just got AD ( iPad version) I would really like to learn how to import Smart PSD mock up files into affinity designer for Posters and T shirts
you mentioned that you used the mask tool, would liketo see that in use. and, how do you import an original sketch on paper so that i can draw over it in affinity designer?
Great video Juna, keep them coming. I'd like to know how to set up templates so I don't have to change sizes and try to remember the usual sizes I need. ( like for amazon 4500x5400 or decal sizes, or that stuff) THanks!
Thank you for both great tutes on Afinity! I was wondering if you could at some point go a little bit into text and a few different aspects of what can be done with letters and text shaping.
This is all very cool. I'd love for you to make tutorials on complex tshirt designs, with banners, font styles like, grunge for distressing. You know what I mean? Also, how to get a picture of say, a face and illustrate it.. Those would be great! Thanks
Can I just commend you on your video style. It's exactly right, good pacing, clear explanations and actual useful information. Top marks. As a suggestion I'd like to see an example of how to use AD to create some really cool graphics like the samples they show on their website. Thank you!
Great content Juna. I just purchased Aff Design so I have lots of questions! As for what to do for a video I agree with one of the comments on how to set up templates for the different sizes required for most POD platforms. I keep hearing to put your design on every product available but shouldn't you change the dimensions of your designs to get the best quality on the finished product? Thx for all your videos!
This is great. I took a few Udemy classes for affinity designer and you covered the tools in a more understandable way. I’d like to know more about top shortcuts you use. For example on Mac I’m working with text and want to select it. I use V but since it’s text it instead adds a V to my text instead of selecting the layer.’
I have just got this and thanks for your tutorials, i have learnt from your videos but i need to know how to resize an image, how to add a couple of images and how to fill an A4 sheet with designs so i am not wasting a whole sheet for one design...please
@@DetourShirts ok thank you and if i want to fill an A4 sheet with smaller designs i just either duplicate image or place other images on the document?
Thanks Juna! I was wondering if you have a video that shows how to mask letters and also how to remove parts of an image like let's say a sunset design that has a silhouette of something, but you want to keep the silhouette and not the sunset. Or if there is a way of changing the sun set's colors. Thanks in advance. I know it's a bit much to ask, but if you can, I think others will also benefit from this.
Great suggestion! Sounds like a vintage sunset design... I have a tutorial for that... You might like this video... th-cam.com/video/SK_JwPE2VnM/w-d-xo.html and this one... th-cam.com/video/wtNJJKSKKjo/w-d-xo.html
HI, I am moving to AD from AI. I learned in AI how to use the color picker tool to make a palette from a photo and then save the color palette in the swatches panel permanently. IF this is possible, can you show how to do it in AD? I will try the technique I learned in AI and see if it works in AD, first using the place command to import a photo then going from there. Thanks for such great intro videos. I'm on to watch the 3rd one now.
I was looking forward to more affinity designer tutorials there has not been any done since this one I never saw anything about text or the others things you said you be covering are you going to do for someone just getting started in Affinity Designer
Hi I was looking in to the Infinity designer software but they had different one witch one should i pick.. Affinity Professional Graphic Design software and Affinity Professional Phot Software
Is there a way to cut out parts of pictures or layers for if I wanted to quickly throw together a collage or something because this application seems to purposely make what's simple and common functions in every other program into overly complicate ones in this one.
Thanks for this useful series. With regards to the fill tool, I’ve always avoided using color gradients for tshirt designs as I think I heard that they don’t print well onto garments. Is this true?
Gradients can be tricky on print on demand. Sometimes they turn out great and other times not so great... I typically use solid colors. I think most people who come from a screen printing background will avoid gradients because it's tougher to do with a screen print. You will have do halftones and all that stuff. With print on demand you don't have to do anything special for gradients.
hey, i am almost at the end of my trial and considering purchasing this, however i need to see how to seperate colors to burn screens, can you do a step by step for this please! and if this software isnt capable, what is free or extremly cheap add on that will? have done a lot of printing but not this end of it. help please?
Ohhh... burn screens... old school... I haven't done that myself but I'm sure there is a way... I'll check into it... there may be a video on it already from someone else
With Affinity Photo's vector tools and ability to open and export vectors, does the average Joe or Jill really need Affinity Design? I bought both of them because they were 50% off, just in case I need the more advanced vector tools, but for basic vector stuff it seems like Photo might be enough. Also, you seemed to say 'I hardly use this tool" a lot!
You might be right...There are some tools I like better in Affinity Designer but honestly I haven't dived deep into Affinity Photo to see if I like that one better.
So i did the box with outer box, but now everytime i try to draw another box, even after deleting the 1st box. It brings back the box with the gradiants and outlines. Is there a "back" button to undo what you just did?
So maybe this is obvious but how do you reset the colors/swatches? After I apply a gradient with various color settings and want a new object that object aquires the same gradient as the first. The color panel still shows the donut and the foreground as when I edited the last object. Just want to reset for new objects.
I just pick different colors. If you want to change the fill and stroke after creating your first one the next shapes should be those colors. There may be a quick key to reset colors but I haven't used one.
Hey Juna, I've been learning and practicing shading and highlighting in my designs, I'm noticing that a lot of shirt designs don't use Layer Fx, Graussain blur, or the fill tool techniques, is this because it doesn't print well on POD? TIA 😊
Hi Juna, i hope you can get back with me i know you must receive a ton of messages im interested to know if you have a coupon code i can use to purchase Affinity Design 2 software? Im very new to sublimation and was wondering if this is the right software to purchase i plan on purchasing designs on etsy and other places that designers sell there designs and was wondering if that is the correct software or i have to purchase the complete software? Can i use this on multiple computers such as windows and apple?
Sorry I don't have an discount code or affiliate code for Affinity. They don't do that. As far as sublimation I would imagine it does that but I don't do that kind of t-shirt stuff, I would check with T-Shirt Help Desk (TH-cam channel). They sell a universal license that you can put on mac and windows. affinity.serif.com/en-us/
@@DetourShirts Actually, now that I am bumping around in my new purchase of Affinity Designer, there is a LOT of things you can do in text and probably deserves its own entire video. Watching one right now from another TH-camr. I like your teaching style. I subscribed and will look forward to a tutorial on text effects. Thanks.
I have watched your videos on affinity and other design software and a lot of it is good but you are constantly clicking a tool and then clicking on something else on the screen and not explaining what you are doing. I read another comment on here where the person said they were just as confused as before they watched the video. I fell the same way. You need to explain better what you are doing.
This is the first comment , I like you and iam big fan , could you give me a give away money or any thing to help me , I don't have a laptob I just work from the phone, so I need a laptob to work like a real designer , please .

how would you crop a logo you drew by hand? do you recommend redrawing it on affinity?

I wonder if it worth buy the whole affinity package or only Affinity Designer is enough?
It's worth it if you are going to use it.... Affinity Photo is pretty cool
So i did the box with outer box, but now everytime i try to draw another box, even after deleting the 1st box. It brings back the box with the gradiants and outlines. Is there a "back" button to undo what you just did?
You can always use command z to undo

No idea... Sorry

So maybe this is obvious but how do you reset the colors/swatches? After I apply a gradient with various color settings and want a new object that object aquires the same gradient as the first. The color panel still shows the donut and the foreground as when I edited the last object. Just want to reset for new objects.
I just pick different colors. If you want to change the fill and stroke after creating your first one the next shapes should be those colors. There may be a quick key to reset colors but I haven't used one.
I have found out it is expand stroke
Yup... expand stroke is amazing
How about teaching a T-Shirt Design Course using Affinity Design on your website.
I may do a course in the future... Right now I'm just doing TH-cam videos... I have a bunch of T-Shirt design ones with Affinity already
Do you have a video out that involves the new contour tool?
I don't but that tool is pretty cool.
Hey Juna, I've been learning and practicing shading and highlighting in my designs, I'm noticing that a lot of shirt designs don't use Layer Fx, Graussain blur, or the fill tool techniques, is this because it doesn't print well on POD?
TIA 😊
Thanks for sharing!! I think it does work on POD stuff... I mostly don't do it because I'm lazy and actually like the flat design.
Lol too funny! Okay, thanks.
is there shape builder tool?
Kind of..... there are lots of shapes to choose from and you have a pen tool if you need to draw other shapes
Hello how do you know how to change a design to size in inches
So... if you are doing 300 pixels per inch... 300 ppi...(kinda like dpi but a little different).... 4500 px = 15 inches & 5400 px = 18 inches
@@DetourShirts is there anyway to change all settings to inches by chance
trying to save designs on pdf and how to export and import files from pdf
Good one
I have found that 3 website said that I can get a free version of affinity designer, is that right
I don't think so... I've never seen it for free
How to import sketch and trace?
One of my earliest video go over that.... but I could probably do another video about it.
Is Affinity D a good software for cropping? is there a really good crop software hassle free?/// thanks a great deal.
Yes it is!
I just purchase the software and I don’t have the brush pen
That's strange... I wonder if I got it separately.... sometimes Affinity gives away free brushes
what about the Text tool, you missed it out.
Was it in part 1?
Watch👍
Thanks
Did I miss you showing how to use text/fonts?
Is it in part 1?
I watched this for the text tool, which you skipped without a mention. What gives?
Is it in the part 1?
It’s not on IPad then wha benefit ?
It is on the iPad
You can get it for the iPad
you skipped the art letter tool
Whoops... did I not cover it in the first one?
Hi Juna, i hope you can get back with me i know you must receive a ton of messages im interested to know if you have a coupon code i can use to purchase Affinity Design 2 software? Im very new to sublimation and was wondering if this is the right software to purchase i plan on purchasing designs on etsy and other places that designers sell there designs and was wondering if that is the correct software or i have to purchase the complete software? Can i use this on multiple computers such as windows and apple?
Sorry I don't have an discount code or affiliate code for Affinity. They don't do that. As far as sublimation I would imagine it does that but I don't do that kind of t-shirt stuff, I would check with T-Shirt Help Desk (TH-cam channel). They sell a universal license that you can put on mac and windows. affinity.serif.com/en-us/
@@DetourShirts ok will ask thank u
Missed text
Which one?
You forgot to go over the text tool.
Whoops... what did you want to know about the text tool... maybe I can do a Quick Tip video about it
@@DetourShirts Actually, now that I am bumping around in my new purchase of Affinity Designer, there is a LOT of things you can do in text and probably deserves its own entire video. Watching one right now from another TH-camr. I like your teaching style. I subscribed and will look forward to a tutorial on text effects. Thanks.
I'll do my best
We are waiting for January income report
I know... it was a toss up on which on to do... that one is coming soon
Nice overview. Thanks. Now, would you please enunciate your T's? "objecT" "shifT" "lisT" (Sorry, but it's distracting!)
Noted! I will try.... I've been saying wrong for so long... lol
I have watched your videos on affinity and other design software and a lot of it is good but you are constantly clicking a tool and then clicking on something else on the screen and not explaining what you are doing. I read another comment on here where the person said they were just as confused as before they watched the video. I fell the same way. You need to explain better what you are doing.
Yes... sorry... I'm trying to get better at this... I hope my quick tips will help too
This is the first comment , I like you and iam big fan , could you give me a give away money or any thing to help me , I don't have a laptob I just work from the phone, so I need a laptob to work like a real designer , please .
You actually can do a lot from your phone... start with what you have.... lot of videos on TH-cam on how to design with just your phone
