Slowly mastering Affinity Designer and it's transforming my workflow, especially for detailed shapes & vector lettering. Trying to get that Procreate organic feel with vector power. Has anyone else started to use the Affinity products as their main design tools?

Yup. Designer still may be missing a few things, and it's UX could use some love, but I keep coming back to it because it's such a joy to use for vector drawing. Opene Illustrator today (to use AstuteGraphics tools) and it jsut feels like a chore compared to Designer.

Yeah, agree the UX needs work and also the vector drawing experience is great.

that’s amazing!! I’m currently learning Affinity and, if you don’t mind… how did you “extrude” the stroke on the “make” text? :o

You can either add an outline FX to it or expand the stroke to an object by going to the layer menu.

I do like Affinity Designer on the ipad. I use it for doing vector art on the go. For my everyday vector work I use my desktop mac with Vectorstyler. It's got all the features missing in Affinity Designer and is improving all the time. Vectors can be copied & pasted between

⚡️Affinity finally has a Blend Tool — and more. My version of the Blend Tool produces much cleaner vector shapes than Illustrator and gives consistent, high-quality results even with complex forms. With the new Claude integration, you can build your own tools in Affinity via scripting and vibe coding. I’ve already made a few that significantly improve my workflow. Might release it later — after some more testing.

AI isn't just changing the tools designers use. It's changing the way they think, prototype, and build. In this episode of Design Review, YC Head of Design eve joins Aaron Epstein to share the AI-first workflow she uses to design products, websites, and events. Using projects like Paxel, STATE OF THE ART, and YC Startup School as examples, she explains how coding agents are transforming everything from rapid prototyping and branding to design systems, and why the biggest bottleneck is no longer software. It's imagination. 00:00 - Eve's AI-First Design Workflow 01:27 - Why She Designs With Her Voice 03:44 - Paxel: Spotify Wrapped for Coding Sessions 07:13 - Building Tools for Yourself 11:01 - Turning Coding Transcripts Into Feedback 12:53 - The Story Behind SOTA Zine 16:57 - Designing With Context, Not Prompts 21:07 - How to Get Better AI Design Outputs 23:20 - Building an Interactive Map of San Francisco 25:17 - Behind Startup School's Visual Identity 29:59 - The Future of Design

Can we please stop with the "Charlie Kirk’s last conversation with me was... [fill in the blank]"? Liz Wheeler: "It's so disrespectful to his legacy... people are trying to use Charlie Kirk and the grief that we all feel... as their mechanism of persuasion for their fringe ideas that they cannot sell on their own merits."

Bullies tend to use intimidation and fear to gain power and control because they don't feel they are strong enough to do much else. Hence the reason that we as a family had to sit down Ivy and discuss how best to get back into the country safely. It's a shame and an embarrassment

The exchange wasn’t quite over. Setmayer accused Trump of having an “affinity” for Putin. “Anyway, so Donald Trump's affinity for…for Vladimir Putin versus the way he treats Zelensky, who's the one who’s fighting for—” Jennings cut her off mid-sentence. “Did he show affinity to them when he just arranged for the arms to NATO?” Abby Phillip tried to rein him in, but Jennings wasn’t finished. “Sorry, Abby. We’re saying things that do not exist in REALITY.” “He just got NATO to do hundreds of millions of dollars of lethal weapons to Ukraine. What affinity to Russia is that?! It’s crazy!” Phillip tried to let Setmayer finish. “Let me just let her finish so I can even understand what point she’s trying to make.” Jennings added with a smirk: “Good question! Me too.” And just like that it was over. By the end of the segment, Jennings had made his point crystal clear for anyone who was actually listening: there are people on the left so entrenched in their opposition to Trump that they would rather keep a war going than allow him the chance to end it.

Warming up before coming back to YT. Today: the "clinical look" in web design. Sometimes a design feels too clean. Too perfect. Too digital. It looks polished, but also flat, with no depth, texture, or character. Making things feel less perfect in Figma can actually be pretty hard. In photography, people often switch to vintage lenses to get a softer, less digital look. In web design, we can do something similar by changing the tools we use. Here are some of the tools we use: Effect app - quick way to add depth of field, motion blur, CRT emulation, pixelation, and other effects. DaVinci Resolve / After Effects - better for motion blur, depth of field, lens simulation, and grain. More control, but more complex. Photoshop / Affinity Designer - useful for textures, brushes. Blender / Cinema 4D - great for natural light simulation, complex animation, and almost any visual effect you can imagine. WebGL - increasingly useful for building micro-apps that create a specific look. Try Gemini 3.1 Pro for that. If you like this format, let me know. I’m trying to find something useful for you, but easier to produce than the videos we were making a year ago.

FULL CLIP: Asmongold says he's happy that "woke" people are upset over EA becoming a privately owned company, with Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners as the main investors 👀 "I'm happy about this. This is great, man. Again, to them, 'woke slap' is the right way to do it. The reason these people are upset is because they're losing their institutional power to foreign investors who aren't beholden to the West”

Believing a theocratic dictatorial regime that uses misinformation as one of their main tools is crazy work. Many of these people hate the right and our country so much that they will run with terrorist propaganda to make themselves feel good and hopefully harm the right. It's pathetic.

IN NEWS: Commure has raised $200M from General Catalyst's CVF. "Our wedge is ambient AI to help automate a physician's revenue cycle. There are tens of thousands of people at health systems whose sole job is filling out claims, fighting denials. All of that is going away with LLMs." - Tanay Tandon "I think payments is an interesting vector to deploy software. Ramp has shown it where you get into the transaction suite and then you build tools for the CFO's office. We're trying to do the same for a health system's CIO and CFO."

Thousands of schools in America have implemented a program of separating their students into ‘Affinity Groups’ Children are separated by race. White children are scolded and told about their white privilege and racism, the non-whites are praised and given cupcakes (THIS IS REAL) “Several schools in New York have implemented what they describe as a novel approach to fighting discrimination. Under the program, children as young as six are separated by race into two rooms named affinity groups. One room for the white students, the other for non-whites. - In the room of non-whites, the students are heaped with praise, told to feel proud of their race and given treats such as cupcakes - But as for the white students, They are scolded, told about their white privilege, about America's history of racism, and of course, no treats are awarded to these children. Parents have claimed that this program deliberately instills in white children a strong sense of guilt about their race. Some kids come home in tears, saying, I'm a bad person. A parent noted, 100% of the curriculum is what whites have done to other races. Parents, moreover, so the classroom segregation only breeds resentment. Younger children, for instance, feel left out when the kids of colour come back to the main classroom munching on cupcakes they were given in their affinity group. The program is run by Anshu Wahal, who's held the title of Director of Diversity at Bank Street since 2013.” The practice is widespread in progressive and inclusive educational settings throughout America , with mentions of affinity groups in states like Colorado, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, and New York, as well as at conferences like the NAIS People of Color Conference Thousands of schools in America are currently using this program

The 1st Assault Regiment (1 ОШП) has published a detailed video on the use of a Vector UAV during their reconnaissance missions. These reconnaissance drones are funded in large part by the German government, but are also purchased directly by Ukrainian units, for example. StepanS and I finally had enough time to work on a translation so you can view the more than 7 minutes long video with English subtitles.
