About This Course

Hey there how’s it going and welcome to the Affinity Designer course. My name is David, I'm a YouTuber primarily in the finance and design industry and together we’re going to go through this course and learn all the ins and outs of Affinity Designer and make some great artwork.

During the course, we won’t just focus on using tools we’ll go through 4 real-world projects together as well as various examples that you can follow along with.

This course is aimed at people who are completely new to Affinity Designer and maybe design applications in general. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have anything for you intermediate users, we’ll also cover the basics of some more advanced and practical topics all step by step. We’ll slowly start with the basics and increase the speed in which we learn throughout the course as we build on prior knowledge.

We’ll create complex shapes, use that pesky pen tool. Explore repeating patterns, using, and creating custom brushes. We’ll talk about color resources, icons. We’ll even create cartoon images and isometric designs from scratch and much much more.

So if you’ve never used Affinity Designer or you’ve struggled in the past, follow me and we’ll learn all the skills, and make some great artwork on the way.

Credit Information

Is this course eligible for my CPD requirements as a Canadian CPA?

Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.

Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
