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.
