Using Global Colours and Symbols in v3
Affinity Designer Video Tutorial
This video is based on the Affinity Designer – hands-on Facebook group beginner’s challenge ‘Autumn Colours’. The challenge requires a limit of 5 colours. This is easy to achieve with global colours [as they allow alteration at any time and will use that change on all objects using that global colour]. To keep it even more flexible, I use symbols for the leaves to allow quick edits or complete changes.
As an added challenge, this is the first video I recorded in the new affinity by Canva [or Affinity v3]. It didn’t all go according to plan, even if it ended well. :)
I uploaded the source files [three v3 files – autumn, winter, and spring] from the video to my Gumroad page ( Get it here! ).
