In this Beginner's Guide to Affinity Designer for iPad V2 class, follow along with Top Teacher Tracey Capone, and explore, and master, the tools in the Export Persona.

Understanding how the Export persona works, provides a quick and easy way to export individual slices of your work, whether they're single layers, artboards, or entire groups. It's a great way to export illustrations for stickers, animations, pattern motifs, digital brush sources, and more!

Hi everyone... welcome to class!

In this Beginner's Guide to Affinity Designer class, we are going to take a closer look at the Export Persona. It's the least complicated of the three personas in Designer, but is power packed with ways to make exporting specific parts of your illustrative or graphic design work much easier!

The Export Persona's user interface
The difference between the main export function and the Export Persona
What is a slice and what are they for?
The two ways you can create your slices
Best practices for creating the best slice
The various export formats available and when you would want to use them
BONUS VIDEO: I'll also show you how you can use Designer's Export Persona to isolate, and create slices, out of any object you create, whether they're from another digital app, or scanned analog marks.

For class, you will need...

The Affinity Designer app
An iPad
Something to export... I recommend trying both a canvas that has multiple objects on a single layer and one that has multiple objects broken out in to separate layers/groups/artboards

Please note, for this class, I will be using the iPad version of the app, specifically V2, but the key concepts are the same for V1 of the iPad app, so you can easily follow along. For those using the desktop version, the concepts are the same as well so, as long as you can locate the Export Persona and other tools used in class, you will be able to follow along.

Hi there! I'm Tracey. I'm an illustrator, photographer and Top Teacher here on Skillshare, located in the Chicagoland area. You can find my full Skillshare profile, including all of my classes, here. I've been a full time artist for over a decade, after leaving the corporate world behind in 2011. My work can be found online, and in select stores around the country.

In my daily work, I use both iPad and desktop apps from the Affinity Suite, Adobe, and Procreate and love being able to share my knowledge of those apps, here on Skillshare, as well as in short form tutorials that complement those classes, here on YouTube.

I have been using Affinity Designer for the last several years and have had the privilege of being spotlighted by Serif, the company who created the app, twice as a go to teacher for their apps. You can find the spotlights here and here.

If you have any questions about the class, or would like feedback on your project, please feel free to let me know in the Discussion section of class, or by emailing me at hello@traceycapone.com.

I look forward to seeing you in class!
