This course provided a very good roadmap for learning Affinity designer. Along with being a great tool to revisit when I need a creative idea or stuck on how to perform a certain task. It would be great to see new videos with the updated look of the Affinity designer. But you can still get a lot of this course without that.

Instructions are clear and the pace is just about right. Added visuals are excellent (for example when clicking a command, the keys pressed are shown). Well done!

Aside from not being able to open the resource files, and having a different version of Affinity Designer, this course was very informative. I learned a lot from this course and thought the teacher was very clear about his teaching.

I think I have a different version because some of the things he was doing ex. Layers and export are different in mine. I have windows and he's using mac I believe so that is probably why.

As Im going through the step by steps. I noticed that your software isn't the same as the updated software. It was a bit confuseing while trying to keep up... For ex-sample, I was doing course 9 for User Interface Design and just the being of it was not the same steps. So I maneuver to make it quite like his new documents. My workspace showed ARTBOARD. His Grouping is different within his layers. Mine shows all the line works or texting. I click in Layers and it add a line work and it drags it back to the first layer I put in place. This should be updated. Thank You.
