I read up and found out that Affinity designer doesn’t even want to make an instructional guide to the ipad interface.

I plan to eventually get the desktop version although I work mainly on my ipad for most projects and this is somewhat backwards and pompous for them to not listen to their users and create a ipad version.

For me personally it was a waste of money until I get the desktop edition. Affinity Designer Workbook The Workbook for Affinity Designer software will make your creative journey so much more enjoyable and productive from the get-go.

This is a gorgeous publication, jam-packed with ideas and well organized information. My wife picked it up and could hardly believe all those or so glossy pages and hard backing weigh so much. The workbook is a credit to the publishers Serif–so much hard work and thought went into this and it shows on every page. A few members on the Affinity forum commented on shipping damage : This publication should be packed in more than a close fitting cardboard box.

Amazon knows how to package items, but after after some couriers get their hands on them, hurling them like frisbees crashing into container walls, not many items can survive that treatment.

The corners of the spine were damaged and it has a dent on the front–not really bad, but if I was buying it in a book store, I would expect a discount. I did not take any stars away from the book, as it is a shipping issue which I will take up directly with Amazon.

I will write a detailed review of the content as time permits. Tip: Don’t leave this sitting on the coffee table gathering dust. It is a practical tool to help you express your true creative talents through this software. Amazingly crafted book. I have just started it but the information is well presented.

However, I would advise not to get too hung up on the pages describing all of the menu items — it will bog you down and won’t make much sense anyway out of context of actually using them. Skim this section but move ahead to the exercises, and then go back to reference the menu items section when needed. The good thing about this book is that is walks you through specific projects to learn how to use the software in the context of an actual project.

Between the online tutorials, this book, and the help menu, the user is well covered. I am new to vector design, so there is quite a learning curve and things that appear simple from the online tutorials I am having to plod through and figure out one step at a time. So far no complaints with this book or the software. Good stuff!

I love the way this book is laid out. It starts with the basics, so even if you have no experience in graphics you can get up to speed quickly. The rest of the book is how artists apply the tools to their uses and demonstrates the power of the software by taking you through projects. Once I have completed the lessons in this book, I will probably keep this out as a coffee table book because it was clearly designed by graphics artists and therefore looks great.

This is a gorgeous book. Well designed in every way. A pleasure to look at and read. For every exercise, you need to type in a long URL to directly download the resource file in a zipped format.

Then you have to open each zip and extract it before you can use it. And the zipped files take too long to download on top. I’m disappointed that the designers of this workbook did not pay enough attention to the resource file utilization. I highly recommend the way Lynda-dot-com solved this issue. For each Affinity lesson, you first download all the resource files in one zip folder. After you extract it, you just double click the file and it opens up for you to follow the lesson without any hassles.

End of the story. No wonder a Google search will reveal many user questions asking where the Affinity resource files are. They are not easy to find unless you type in a long URL for each and every resource file. I’m returning the workbook reluctantly since it’s such a good looking volume — that has little user value when it comes to following the instructions for individual tasks and projects.

To be honest, I bought the book because it looks pretty and I wanted to get more information for the program. However, the information was simple and basic. Since the book workfiles arn’t easily acessible and the company’s online tutorials do a good job in teaching users the same information presented on the book.

Excellent workbook to learn Affinity Designer, with the best illustrators inside to work with you in developing your learning of the software! I needed this book, it has helped me tremendously! Since there are limited tutorials on Affinity Designer, this books shows you how to do graphic design, 3D artwork, painting with vector and pixel, and making icons, also it shows you how to make your own brushes!

Needed something to help me get started with vector drawing. This book has been very good for that. Also serves as a general manual. Still, the Affinity people need to come out with decent manuals! See all reviews. Top reviews from other countries. This is a good workbook, although I bought it thinking it was a reference guide. It takes you through the various steps of designing a logo with all of the techniques that go along with it explained thoroughly and clearly, so that you learn as you practice in their examples, as opposed to being able to jump from section to section when you need to work out what a button does or how to do something specific as a reference title would.

It’s still an incredibly handy guide to Affinity, though the cost is the same as for the excellent software itself. I feel that the book should be half the price it is, although it’s a nicely made, well thought out and fairly heavy book. The Serif company who produce Affinity software really should have called this book ‘Designer and illustrator work book’ because pages is devoted to creating illustrations which I wouldn’t call design.

The page breakdown is this: 14 to 73 Interface tour; 74 to core skills; to illustration projects; to Design projects; to Index, this followed by four tear-out pages printed on card with keyboard shortcuts for Mac or PC.

I use Affinity Publisher so only about two thirds of the book is useful for me, especially the tour detailing what each part of the interface does. The book is designed in the usual contemporary way with extensive white space and leaded out text.

I find it odd that the book is not much less than the cost of the Affinity software it describes. Look inside the book at Westread Book Reviews then click and September. Images in this review. Excellent book for those people are both experts and, like me, people with limited graphical abilities.

The book is presented very clearly and the steps to achieve the projects in the book are extremely clear. I bought the software and was immediately overwhelmed with it’s capabilities. This book helped me to achieve the results I wanted and stopped Affinity Designer from becoming the latest graphics package I discarded because I was incapable of driving it. Optimized for the latest tech on Mac, Windows and iPad, Affinity Designer is setting the new industry standard in the world of design.

No bloat, no gimmicks, just all the tools you need, implemented how you always dreamed. Affinity Designer is a stripped back, pro-end workhorse that will always get your job done.
