Great Guide for Beginners

As someone who has relied on Adobe Fireworks in the past and has had to reluctantly move with the times I recentley purchased Affinity Designer 2 as the closest alternative I could find on the Mac. While there were similarities I needed a kick start and that is exactly what this book gave me. It’s not exhaustive (as you’d expect from a beginner’s guide) but there are some great ideas in here and the book covers a wide range of ideas.
