Affinity Designer is a fast and powerful graphics program for editing and creating vector- based images. As a cost-effective alternative to Adobe Illustrator it offers many useful and flexible tools to generate drawings for scientific figures, posters and presentations.

In this two-day workshop you will get an in-depth look at both basic and advanced functions of Affinity Designer and learn to use the software by completing many practical examples.

The Affinity Designer course covers the following topics:

  • Creation of new documents as well as proper import and export of various file formats (PDFs, Excel, Adobe Illustrator files, bitmap images, etc.)
  • The basic interface and tools.
  • Managing colors in the document.
  • How to use groups, layers and artboards to handle more complex documents such as posters.
  • Advanced drawing with the pen tool and node tool.
  • Creating complex shapes by combining or subtracting objects.
  • Using the alignment tools, snapping function and the coordinate system to easily arrange and transform objects and draw exact illustrations.
  • Using the brush tools to create natural looking images and to draw complex objects (DNA brush).
  • How to use, edit and arrange text.
  • Enhancing your images by using gradients, effects and transparency.
  • Integration of Affinity Photo for editing bitmap images (microscopic images, scans).
