Description

Hi there, thank you so much for showing interest in my Affinity Designer complete course. Below is a complete breakdown of what you're going to learn throughout this course. Lets start the journey. - GENERAL OVERVIEW:
Have you ever wanted to start a career in the design world but weren't feeling comfortable or you just thought that design is not for you? Or maybe you've tried to learn web design but you weren't sure where to start?
Well, this complete Affinity Designer masterclass will take you from a total beginner to an advanced designer who's feeling comfortable designing logos, apps, graphics and even websites.
You absolutely don't have to have any experience in the design world or Affinity Designer, we'll go through everything step-by-step in the course. We'll go through the interface of the software, explain all of the panels, toolbars and settings and then we'll get to work within the 3 personas in Affinity Designer.

- PROJECT-BASED COURSE!

The masterclass contains many projects that we will be designing through the course, polishing and putting our learned skills to the test. You'll use the skills learned to create amazing creations, apps, logos, graphics and more!

SO, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DESIGN?
Let me introduce you to the design projects:

  1. Design an App Icon: With just few tools learned [rectangles and gradients], you'll be able to quickly design a very minimalistic, modern and sophisticated icon for an app.

  2. Convert a Pixel Graphic to a Vector Logo: Follow this very cool time-saving  trick in order to turn any kind of pixel graphic to an amazing looking vector shape, logo or form. 

  3. Enhance Photographs: Affinity Designer also allows us to edit pictures on the go with its huge set of photo manipulation options. Join me as we thoroughly go through the options.

  4. Design a Logo: With the techniques, tools and tricks learned you'll be able to design an eye-pleasing modern logo for a company. I'll go through the whole process and you'll design a brand new logo from scratch.

  5. Design a 2D Flat Character: You'll even design a 2D cartoon character from scratch using just plain tools as rectangles, spheres and curves! It will be really fun.

  6. Shading and Texturing: You'll learn the very important processes of shading and texturing and we'll be applying these techniques to the current graphics that we've already designed.

  7. DESIGN AN APP: If the above wasn't enough, I'll even walk you through the complete process of sketching/wireframing and designing a real-world app for a social media/dating app. We'll design 3 screens from scratch to complete finish.

  8. DESIGN A WEBSITE: As a final task, you'll be given an assignment with instructions to design a website with all of the things that you've learned during the course. Don't miss this!

- ASSIGNMENTS: After you complete a section, in order to brush up the learned techniques, you'll have to put your skills to the test and design what's required from you. This is how you will master your craft and this is how you'll practice design principles until you get the hang of it. Make sure to never miss an assignment as this is a vital part of the learning process.

- DESIGN A WEBSITE WITH SKILLS LEARNED: With all of the things learned in the last 7-8 hours, as a final assignment and a test, you'll be granted a task that will require you to design a landing page from scratch. If you were able to follow along designing the app, you should have absolutely no problem designing a website from scratch and you'll actually be very surprised how skillful you've become. I'll be taking a detailed look in every one of your submissions regarding this final finished website design. Get to work!
