Affinity Designer Complete Course: Beginner to Advanced (Udemy.com)

Too much chat

Not sure what he was talking about when he got to the bottom of the screen and talked about what that was. Huh?

Again an amazing course from Filip, even in a web design/graphic design course he didnt disappoint. I am really well please with the content provided and the graphics we are designing are really nice. Thank you so much!

nice, simple to understand, exciting for to learn

Simply Awesome!!!!

Illustrator PURE s#it!!!!

Adobe should learn from Sheriff

Very Good Course

I am definitely enjoying the content but the whole thing keeps going extremely blurry

It absolutely satisfying, the teacher explains everything and every detail. Very easy to follow. :)

I've been an Adobe user for over 20 years and going over the basics of the tools and the interface (which I was considering skipping) is definitely meeting my expectations in terms of giving me the confidence to use the app - I have both the desktop and iPad version of Affinity so I'm working through the course with both apps open and translating everything on the desktop version to my iPad version.

It is a good match and I am enjoying every split of a second.

This course seems to be done by a person that uses the software but doesn't know it well enough to teach about it at an advanced level, sometimes he seems to not know well some features. It is not a beginner to the advanced course it's more a course to know the basics about the software. If you don't know this software at all, this class may be good for you, but if you have previous knowledge about affinity designer there is not much for you to learn in this course.

- Instructor is a still fairly young, self-taught web designer which becomes very obvious in the course. Meaning he has minimal experience and only a very shallow background in the digital graphics world. Learning from tutorials and youtube videos is great, but one should not think that he can create a course after doing this for 3-4 years at this price point with 7.5h duration

- No explanations of deeper concepts in digital graphics at all. From such a course one should expect a true educator with years of professional background under his belt, tons of explanations, anecdotes and a solid, technical understanding of the matter. Examples:

1) What is DPI? Why change DPI for web and print? What are these different color formats? What is difference between RGB/8 and RGB/16?

2) File formats, he rushes through them at various stages in the course, but never with any meaningful explanations. And no, EPS and AI is not the same. But why not explain something meaningful about EPS while you're at it? In the export persona he choses for a slice the file format, and then after the matching preset which makes no sense at all.

3) Masking. Never really explained except for the one use case which is repeatedly used. The full power of this incredible tool should be much more presented.

4) Boolean operations. Again, quickly touched on, but the real power of this everyday tool in a designers life was not explained.

- The structure of the course can be summarized that he presents tool by tool with clicking on every button and reading what it says on the screen. Then performing some action with them. The exercises were fine, especially the moon. The UI workshop rather clunky, why not using rulers like any UI designer? Why not using symbols? Again here it shows that mentioned lack of real-world experience and being a professional designer what I would expect to see in such a course

- Multiple, repeat statements in style like "... this function should do this.. I think..", "... now I guess it should this when I click here.." don't give a feeling he has used the tool a lot or a solid grasp of it

- I still was able to learn some things here, but if I wouldn't have paid $10 at a discount rate (and instead $150) I would have requested an instant refund
