Interesting stuff covered

By Lisa Hawkins

This is a very excellent course and instructor, especially for those trying to research in various places to learn pattern making! There is no need to keep looking, this instructor is very knowledgeable and the course is easy and fun, and you get to see various ways patterns are made and different tools to make them with, so in the end you choose the best method to make your pattern and export. There is no need for Adobe Illustrator, not when you have this wonderful and excellent class with the great teacher too!!

Very Good Practical Course on How to make Patterns and Symbols with in Affinity Designer.. Highly Recommend for Newcomers to Affinity Designer.

By Michael Lloyd

Outstanding course. Very informative. Use and explanation of hotkeys was a bonus, I did not know the modifier key for duplicating objects with the mouse in Affinity Designer. Symbol feature demonstration to create complex shapes was also useful and applicable. Lots of good technique, which is explained very clearly. Techniques can easily be applied to website design.
