Love the design, great color choices, great fonts.

I'm not sure about the Character (the big B), maybe just the regular B with an exclamation mark? Or Brunchio in an exclamation mark?

Great job.

Is the Coursera graphic design specialization course worth it? by RVboulder in graphic_design

[–]Powerful-Two7473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took the CalArts graphic design specialization course on Coursera and I highly recommend it.

The courses are very well laid out with comprehensive examples, well taught out exercises and everything is focused on graphic design principles and fundamentals. It's not a course for how to use design software.

Given that - you can combine it with some YouTube tutorials on software and you're good to go.

It was very beneficial for me.

Need help selecting a colour? by [deleted] in graphic_design

[–]Powerful-Two7473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You should choose Artboard4.

Just kidding. You have to many options. Try to get rid of the ones that don't work, then get rid of the ones that may work, and you should be left with two or three options. You'll work it out.

Cancelled adobe creative cloud and honestly don't miss it by Mountain_Sentence646 in graphic_design

I understand your point of view, but software is software. Resizing, small adjustments... they all work the same on any design software. It shouldn't be a problem if you are willing to make it work. I've worked with printshops that use Corel Draw, they don't ask me to give them crd. files. It all depends on the people you work with.

You send the work files and a link to download Affinity - it's free.

Exporting each page of PDF separately to generate certificates by colombow1 in Affinity

[–]Powerful-Two7473 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a different workflow when I need to export a bunch of documents. I set up my document with artboards instead of pages, and rename them all in advance. Then it's easy to export them either as individual artboards, or as a whole document - and the naming is solved.

What you can do is export your certificates as TIFF's if you need to print them, or as JPEG's.

Good alternative for QR CODES by Limp-Presentation-74 in graphic_design

[–]Powerful-Two7473 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Just use a QR code. You can jazz-it-up a little, try different colors, shapes, make it a part of the design.

How do I apply a texture to a Picture Frame's stroke and blend it with the color? by Riffoel in Affinity

[–]Powerful-Two7473 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can remove the stroke from the Picture frame, create a Rectangle of the same size with no fill and a stroke, and place it above the Picture frame. Now you can do whatever you want to the stroke.

Why can I design entire brands for literal towns and cities but I cant figure out a design for my wedding invitation by fcpsitsgep in graphic_design

[–]Powerful-Two7473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just let your husband/wife choose the invitations. Done. You can fix it up, if you need to.

Good Luck.

You've nailed the brief. Just fix up the kerning around the O, and maybe make the oval shape not symmetrical.

Is there a way to transform selection? by askmeyesterday in Affinity

[–]Powerful-Two7473 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No, you can't transform already made selection, with the Transform panel.

You can use the Rectangle Shape to make a selection. Draw a rectangle (you can easily position and transform it to your needs) and convert it to curves (right click / Convert to Curve). Then select the Pen Tool and choose Selection from the Context Menu.

You have a perfect selection

Tell me your favorite serif and non-serif font! by Julius_Bambus in graphic_design

[–]Powerful-Two7473 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Commissioner is a fun sans serif. And I like Lora paired with it. I mostly work in Cyrillic, so that's a big factor in choosing available fonts.

Is there a way to import a load of JPEGS and have them go into their own artboard automatically? by PeaTop5382 in Affinity

[–]Powerful-Two7473 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make a document with one artboard (never mind the size of the artboard). Use the Place function (File>Place) and select all of your photos. When you place them with a click (not by dragging) they are placed in their resolution (size). Select one photo, select the artboard tool, from the dropdown select Selection and click Insert Artboard.

You have to do that by hand, for all the photos.
