Adding Keyboard Shortcuts and changing the User Interface are the most popular ways to change the program. Feel free to look at the other options to make the program work better for you. Here you can type in any tool that you are looking for in Affinity Designer. This is especially helpful if you remember the name of a tool, but aren't sure where it is. This will bring up a Dialog Box, where you can type anything into the search bar. Type in the search bar, then press Enter on your keyboard, and Affinity will give you helpful articles to read. You can also click on Affinity Designer Help. Tutorial will take you to helpful tutorials that were made for Affinity Designer, and Support will take you to the Affinity forums, where you can ask and answer questions for others in the community.

By combining your resources, you have all the support you need to work successfully in Affinity Designer. Node Tool To new users of Affinity Designer, the Move Tool and the Node Tool appear to do the same thing, but they actually have different purposes. When nothing is selected, but we have the Move Tool out, the Context Toolbar only has the option to change the Document Setup and the Preferences. When nothing is selected, but we have the Node Tool out, the Context Toolbar changes quite a bit. The Node Tool has the same settings to change. When we select the Move Tool, the Context Toolbar has the same settings to change as the Node Tool. When we change to the Node Tool, now the line has individual points, or nodes, as well as more options in the Context Toolbar. We can see this by looking at the Layers panel. Affinity Designer treats shapes and curves differently. When you are working with shapes, the tools work identical to each other.

When you are working with a curve, the Node Tool has many more options to adjust the curve. Just click and drag on objects to move them around. When you have an object selected, you can also use the arrows on your keyboard to move the object. If you hold down Shift while using the arrows on your keyboard, the object will move in larger increments. You can use the top and bottom handles to make the object shorter or taller. To resize the object's width and height at the same time, you can use the handles on the corners. If you hold down Shift while adjusting the corner handles, the object will stay in its original dimensions as you resize it. To rotate the object, click and drag on the handle that sticks out on top of the shape. To see your object's rotation point, press on the crosshair icon in the Context Toolbar. If you hold down Shift and then rotate your object, it will be rotated in 15 degree increments.

You can click and drag on this rotation point to put it anywhere in your document, even off of your shape. Move the rotation point back to the center. If you no longer want to see the rotation point, you can press the crosshair icon again in the Context Toolbar. Now you can click and drag to shear the object. We have been adjusting our object manually, but we can be more exact by using the Transform panel. Here, we can change our rotation back to 0 degrees by clicking in the box, typing 0, then pressing Enter on your keyboard. The Width and Height can also be adjusted. Because of all of our adjustments, our square has turned into a rectangle. To make our object a square again, change the Width and Height both to To make sure that our object stays a square, you can lock the Width and Height in place by pressing the chain icon to the right of the Width and Height. You can also change the position of the object. Rather than typing in a specific amount, you can always change it in certain increments, and Affinity will do the math for you.

For example, if you wanted to move the object pixels to the left, you would click in the box, and after the original value, you would type , then press Enter on your keyboard. Select the object, then hold down Alt or Option, and click and drag the object to duplicate it. If you hold down Alt or Option and Shift, you can duplicate an object, and move it in line with the original object. We can click on objects to select them at any time. If we hold down Shift, we can click on multiple objects to select them. At any time, you can also click and drag out a selection marquee to select an object. You can always change this preference. If you want to have your marquee select everything that it touches, even if it isn't completely covered by the marquee, click off of your objects so nothing is selected.

With the Move Tool out, click on Preferences in the Context Toolbar. You can check on Select object when intersects with selection marquee. I won't check that on right now, but you can if you'd like. The Move Tool isn't too difficult to use, and it's very powerful. There is no way to effectively use Affinity Designer without using the Move Tool. This is in contrast to the Move Tool, which has us affect the entire object at the same time. After clicking on a node, you'll notice we have Bezier curve handles coming off of the nodes. We'll learn more about Bezier curve handles in the Pen Tool chapter, but for now, just know that the Node Tool is how we will affect these handles. We can click anywhere on the line to add a node.

We can click on any node, then press Delete on the keyboard to remove a node. Zoom into a node, then click on it. In the Context Toolbar, we can convert this node to a Sharp node by clicking on the Sharp node icon. We can see that the node is now a square, signifying a Sharp node. If we click on the last icon, we will turn our node into a Smart node. While it looks the same as the Smooth node, we can tell it's a Smart node because the node is now a circle with another circle inside of it. Smart nodes have perfectly equal Bezier handles. There are different actions that can be performed on a curve. The first option is Break Curve.

If we have a node selected, and then press on the Break Curve icon, the curve will be split into two. Turn the node back into a Smart node. If we want to combine the curves, select both of the nodes by clicking and dragging a selection marquee. While the curves are joined now, we still have both nodes, and can select one and press Delete on the keyboard to get rid of it. If we zoom out, we can see that the curve is just a line, not a closed object. Affinity has now taken the ends of our curve, and joined them together. Press Command or Control Z to undo. Another action is the Smooth Curve action. Press the Smooth Curve icon. We now have added nodes that can be adjusted to make our curve even smoother. Click to add new points to our curve. We'll learn more about the Pen Tool and Node Tool later, but you can see that the Node Tool gives us powerful options for working with nodes and curves.

Layers can be rearranged by clicking and dragging. If we drag the rectangle to the top, it will cover the rest of the layers. Along with clicking and dragging to arrange layers, the Toolbar gives us more options for rearranging the layers. Drag the rectangle layer back to the bottom. Select the Bookshelf layer. These icons allow us to change the position of a layer. You can move the layer to the bottom or top of the stack by using these icons. You can see that next to each name of the layers, they say what kind of layer that is, whether that is a Group, a Curve, or a Rectangle. I don't find these tools very helpful when we only have a few layers, but these options can be very helpful when you have dozens or even hundreds of layers. Inside a Group, we have multiple layers that make up the image. If you want to rename a layer, double click on the layer's name, then type in a new name and press Enter on your keyboard.

To select another layer, you can hold down Command or Control, and select multiple layers. To select one layer, click on it. Hold down Shift, then click on another layer. All of the layers between the two that you clicked on will be selected as well. If you would like to make a layer more see-through, you can select a layer, then lower the Opacity. There are also shortcuts to changing the Opacity. If you want to protect your layer from getting deleted or moved, you can lock a layer in place by pressing the Lock icon. Even with the Move Tool selected, you can't move a locked layer. Now it can be freely moved again. If you would like to flip a layer, have it selected, and then use the tools in the Toolbar. You can flip your shape vertically or horizontally by pressing these icons. We've learned all of the basics of the Layers panel in Affinity Designer, but throughout this chapter, we'll learn even more ways to use it. Another way to duplicate layers is to select the layer in the Layers panel, then press Command or Control J.

Delete the duplicate. To keep our workspace uncluttered, delete this duplicate layer. Select a layer, then press Command or Control C to copy it. Press Command or Control V to paste it. We now have a duplicate layer. Now we can use the icons at the top right to determine where our new layers will be pasted. The new layer can be behind, in front of, or intersecting our original layer. Press the first icon, then press Command or Control V to paste. You can see that the new layer is now underneath the original. There are many options for duplicating layers.

You really only need to know one, so find which one works best for you, and then use that method whenever you need to duplicate a layer. Using Groups, layers are easy to move and adjust at the same time. It can be moved and resized all at once. If you click on the triangle to the left of the Group, you can see that the Group actually has many layers and Groups inside of it. Groups are so useful because you can combine multiple layers, and it saves you the time of selecting multiple layers over and over to move them. If you open the Light Bulb Group, you can see that many layers make up the Group. If you want to make a new Group, you can select one layer, then hold down Shift to click on more layers. Now we have a new Group inside of the Light Bulb Group, which is inside of our Computer Group.

If you ever want to select a layer inside of a Group, you can press the triangle to open the Group, and then look inside the Group to affect just that layer. If you would like to work more inside of your document rather than the Layers panel, you can double click on a Group to select a layer that is inside of a Group. Click once on the Bookshelf. Over in the Layers panel, you can see that the book is actually a Group. If you zoom into the book, you can double click on one of the rectangles to select it. You have selected a rectangle that was inside of two Groups, without actually opening a Group and searching for it in the Layers panel. If you ever want to remove an object from a Group, open the Group, then click and drag the layer outside of the Group. Groups are a great way to organize your layers, and I highly encourage you to use them.

We've now isolated the Computer layer from the rest of the document. If you want a layer to take up your entire screen, you can double-click on the layer icon. If you want to find a particular object in your document inside of your Layers panel, all you need to do is select the object inside of the document, and it will automatically be shown inside of your Layers panel. Double click on the pencil. Now we have selected the specific curve, and it is being shown in the Layers panel. Double click on the pencil one more time. Finding individual layers inside of the Layers panel can be quite cumbersome.

It is much easier to click on the object inside of the document, and have Affinity do the work to find it inside of the Layers panel for you. Both allow you to group objects together and keep your document organized. Hold down Shift to select all of the rectangles, then drag them to the trash can. Select the Rectangle Tool. Click and drag to create a few rectangles. In the Layers panel, we can see that each rectangle has become its own layer. This is fine for now, but if we continue this process, we will have far too many layers to work with. In the Layers panel, we can see that all of the rectangles are beneath the new layer, and are acting like a Group, which can be closed like a Group. Select two of the rectangles. Press Command or Control G to group to rectangles.

Layers are very similar to Groups. Both allow you to put multiple objects in the same layer, allowing you to keep your Layers panel clean and organized. Because of this, each rectangle had a blue outline as we dragged it out. Press the New Layer icon. Click on the Layer Color, then select a bright pink color. Scroll to the bottom, and select Properties. You can see that the rectangle has a pink outline. Click and drag to draw a rectangle. To see how this works, let's make the turquoise circle a child layer of the text layer. It looks like the circle disappeared, but if you select it in the Layers panel, it is still there. It will only appear where the text layer is because it is now clipped inside of it.

To do this, click and drag the circle underneath the text layer, then to the right. The parent and child layers work as a Group. If you select the parent layer the text layer you can move both of the layers at the same time. To make the circle its own layer again, and not a child layer, click and drag the layer above the parent layer again. Press Command or Control X to cut it. We are now going to make the blue circle inside of the turquoise circle. Select the blue circle. Select the turquoise circle. Before pasting the circle, press the Intersect icon at the top right of the screen. The blue circle is now a child layer to the turquoise circle. Move the blue circle inside the turquoise circle. Press the Intersect icon at the top right of the screen. Move the dark blue circle into the blue circle. Just as with Groups, we can have child layers inside of child layers.

At any time, we could change the Opacity of a circle. Right now the Blend Mode is Normal. Normal is what we have seen throughout this course. It's when one layer stacks on top of another layer to hide what's beneath it. The different Blend Modes allow you to change the blend of your layer to change how it interacts with the layer beneath it. Even if you don't know how a Blend Mode works, Affinity Designer gives you a live preview as you hover over the options in the Blend Mode list. The main Blend Modes that I use include Darken, Screen, and Overlay.

Darken gives a dark blend. Overlay combines the two layers together. For this layer, select Overlay. In the Layers panel, uncheck the green rectangle. You can see that underneath the rectangle, there are nine circles. As we change the Blend Mode of the rectangle, it will affect the colors of the circles beneath it. Select Overlay. As we change the color, it will change how the colors blend together. Blend Modes are a powerful way to combine colors of multiple layers. Throughout the course, we'll see more practical ways to blend layers together. The Fill color is the object's main color, and it fills the center.

The Stroke is the color that outlines an object. To see the Fill and Stroke of an object, select it. If you have the Move Tool out, up in the Context Toolbar, you can see the Fill and Stroke. Regardless of what tool you have selected, you can always see the Fill and Stroke in the Color panel. The Fill of an object is represented by a filled in circle, while the Stroke is represented by a circle that has a circle cut out of it. You can see that the shape we have selected has a black Fill and no Stroke, because the Stroke has a red line going through it. We'll learn more about Strokes later in the chapter, but for now, let's change the color of the Fill.

First, make sure that you are working with the Fill. To do this, click on the Fill circle. You'll know that you are working with the Stroke now because the Stroke circle is on top of the Fill circle. Click on the Fill circle, then choose new color from the Color Wheel. Right now, we are working with the Color Wheel, but you can change this option by clicking the icon at the top right of the Color panel. Let's try working with Sliders. Since I am most comfortable working with the Color Wheel, I'm going to change back to that, but feel free to use whichever option works better for you.

Here, you can enter in numerical values for your color if you have a specific one in mind, or change your color to a new one. If you click on the circle underneath Opacity, you can also add Noise to your color. You now know the foundational skills for changing colors in Affinity Designer. We can find it in the Tools panel on the left side of our screen, or we can find it in the Color panel. These two Color Pickers are very similar, but have slightly different capabilities. Let's learn about the Color Picker in the Color panel. To use this Color Picker, just click and drag on the icon, then move your cursor over a color that you would like to sample. I'm going to click and drag on it to select the white color that's in the background.

Once the object is selected, press on the sample color circle to apply it. Even if we have a layer selected before sampling a color, we always need to click on the sample color circle to apply it to the object. To apply that color to an object, first select the object. Even though the triangle layer is selected, the teal color will not be applied until the sample color circle is pressed. If I move the program window a bit on the right side, I can see my Desktop background. Click and drag the Color Picker to the Desktop color.

This is a fairly unique and powerful feature of Affinity Designer. Select the other Color Picker. In the Context Toolbar, we have a feature that says Apply to Selection. With this checked on, when we sample a color, it will automatically be applied to whatever we have selected. If you want, you can uncheck the Apply to Selection option. Without it checked, when you sample a color, it won't immediately be applied to your layer, but will be stored in the sample color circle. It only allows us to select colors from inside our document. Check on Apply to Selection. However, the great thing about this Color Picker is that it allows us to change the Radius.

Right now, we are selecting a color from a Radius of Point 1 X 1 , but we can change this to Average X Now when you press anywhere inside of your document, your rounded rectangle will receive an averaged color from anywhere you click. If you click just outside the star, Designer will average the black and white colors, and will apply a grey to your rounded rectangle. Both of the Color Pickers have their strengths and weaknesses, but by combining both of them, you should be able to easily select any color that you desire. To apply a swatch to an object, select the object or layer. Inside the Swatches panel, you can see that it has automatically made the last colors that we used into swatches.

Designer will remember the last 10 colors that were used, and put them in the Recent swatch category. Designer comes with some default swatch palettes. Right now, we are in the Greys, but we could use any of these categories. Select the Web Safe Colors. Then choose a red color to apply it. Designer gives many other color palettes to work with, including Pantone color palettes. Press the icon in the top right corner to make a palette. Application Palette means that you can find the palette anytime you open Affinity Designer. Document Palette means that the palette can be shared with others who have Affinity Designer. System Palette means you'll be able to find this palette in other Affinity programs, such as Affinity Photo.

Select Add Document Palette. Select Rename Palette. To add a new swatch, have the object selected that has the color we want, then press on the first painter palette. We can apply these exact colors to any future objects in our document. When you are adding colors, make sure that you have the proper color circle selected, rather that be the Fill or Stroke color. If you have the Stroke color circle selected, and then press the first painter palette, you have added a no color swatch. Global swatches are special swatches that can be applied to multiple objects, and then if you change the color of the swatch, all of the objects with the swatch applied to them will have their color changed, too. To make a Global swatch, have an object with a color selected, and then press the second painter palette.

Apply this swatch to the heart and star by selecting them, and then pressing the swatch. To alter the color of the swatch, double-click on the swatch. In this case, the heart and star change colors. Let's learn a couple more options for adding swatches to our document. Go to the menu in the top right corner of the Color panel. You can edit the color of regular swatches as well, but it won't change the objects that have the swatch applied unless a Global swatch is applied to the object. Scroll to Create Palette From Document, then press As Document Palette. We can also can create a new palette based off of an image. Go to the menu at the top right corner, then scroll down to Create Palette From Image. Select the Spring Flowers image, then press Open. If we want to increase the number of swatches that Designer will make, we can change the number, then press Preview.

We can export our color palettes to share with other people, or import palettes from other people. You can change the location if you want, but I will keep mine as a Document palette, and then press Create. Go to the menu at the top right corner, then select Import Palette, then As Application Palette. We now have a beautiful palette of flat design colors that we can use on future Affinity Designer projects. Swatches are a powerful way to keep consistent color schemes throughout your designs. Go to the menu at the top right corner, then press Appearance, then Large.

Change the color by using the Color Wheel. We can see this by looking in the Context Toolbar. Now we can see the Stroke much better. Increase the size using the Context Toolbar. To switch the colors that are in the circles, press Shift X. A good shortcut to know to switch between your Fill and Stroke color circles is to press X. Change the Fill color by selecting the color circle, and then changing the color. You'll notice that nothing happens. This is just a simple line, and does not have a Fill color. Select the line at the bottom. You'll notice that the line has no Fill and a black Stroke. Almost all objects have a Stroke and Fill applied to them, but some simple objects in Affinity Designer just have a Stroke.

The first option we can change is the Style, and we will go over each of these one by one in this section. The options include No Line, Solid Line, Dash Line, or Textured Line. We have the Solid Line stroke selected now. We can change the Width by dragging the slider. This feature is only relevant if the object is not a closed shape. Because this line is not closed, we can change the Cap option to determine how the ends of the line will look. Zoom into the end of the line. Change the Cap style to see the differences. Zoom in to see how the join works. Select the heart, and give it a stroke by increasing the Width. With these options, we could have a round or sharp join when our object changes directions. The Align option changes where the stroke is placed relative to the blue outline.

Change the Align options to see the differences. Right now the stroke is encroaching on the Fill. This is particularly evident if the Width is increased. When Draw behind fill is checked on, the Fill will remain intact no matter the size of the Stroke. Increase the size of the heart again, then check on Scale with object. Typically, this is a good option to have checked on. Select the circle shape, then change the Style to Dash Line. With this type of Stroke, we have a new option at the bottom. The first number determines how big the dash is. The second number determines how big the gap is in between the dashes. As the numbers are increased, the sizes and gaps are increased. The fourth number determines how big the alternating gaps are.

Now to look at the Textured Line stroke, go to the star shape, and apply a stroke by selecting it, and then increasing the Width. To see the Stroke better, decrease the Width. Go to the Brushes panel. Press on Basic to see more brush options. Select any brush to see it applied as a stroke. Using the Textured Line gives more variety to your designs. While this section was long, hopefully you learned some useful tips to improving the Stroke in your designs. Scroll to the bottom of the Layers panel to select the Background layer. Our Background layer is a rectangle that was drawn to cover the entire document, and then it was locked in place with the Lock icon. If you don't like how the gradient looks, you can click and drag to create a new gradient at any time. Select the Gradient Tool. To apply a gradient in a straight line, hold down Shift while dragging out the gradient. Click on the other color stop to change its color as well.

To move the entire gradient, hold down Command or Control, and then click and drag one of the color stops. To add a new color to the gradient, click anywhere on the gradient line, and a new color stop will be added. To delete a color stop, click on it, then press Delete. One easy option is to switch the colors by pressing the Switch icon. In the Context Toolbar, you can also change the Type of gradient. Change the gradient to Radial. We now have blue in the center of the gradient that transitions evenly all around it to the green color. Move the green color stop toward the edge of the document.

However, we might want to go back and change the gradient again. To do this, select the layer that had the gradient applied to it, in this case, the Background layer. Then, select the Gradient Tool. Now the gradient can be adjusted again. To do this, make sure the Background layer is selected, then go to the Swatches panel. In the Swatches panel, make sure you have the right palette selected, then press the painter palette icon to add the gradient as a swatch to add to future projects. Gradients are an easy way to add beautiful, powerful colors to your designs. Select the Transparency Tool.

Select the polygon shape, then double-click on the layer icon to make the polygon take up the whole screen. Click and drag to make a gradient.
