Course Description
Learn to Create Beautiful Graphics on this Comprehensive Affinity Designer on the iPad Course
This is a comprehensive course in Affinity Designer on the iPad V1, starting from scratch for complete beginners, through to advanced techniques. Using the new 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.

Loving this course so much. Tim is a sweetheart, and explains everything so carefully and well. Doing the exercises, which involves repeating techniques in different ways, really helps to cement the skills, and to learn efficient habits. Although I am currently using V2, it is easy enough to work out the few things that are different- the concepts are the same. Great course, thanks Tim!!!

The instructor explains very slowly making the learn process very easy. And he really knows what he teaches. I’ve gotten other courses from this instructor.

Great and solid course. I feel like there were covered many different aspects, so I can go on and use Affinity Designer by myself.

Using v2 on ipad for first time. Still finding tools confusing. Where is delete? Only under thec3 dots?

Most excellent! Very informative and well put together.

Like his teaching method. Quiet approach unlike some of the more ‘enthusiastic’ offerings from US teachers on here which I do not get along with.

Excellent Instructor. The course is taught at a pace that makes it easy for a beginner, but also allows an individual with intermediate knowledge to learn new tasks. The included projects help to solidify the skills being taught. Would recommend this course to anyone attempting to learn Affinity Design for the iPad.
