Since June 2025 I've been working on 1) learning the Affinity v2 suite, on both iMac and iPad. I've been making my way thru basics classes on all three, while learning from YouTube as I also work on my big "Portfolio Migration" project. 

I've been assembling Chapters of various collections of my work, in order to send customizable, modular Books to clients. I decided to upload a few samples from that and then my version of the final class project.

Cover image shows a composite mockup I assembled with a Kittl generated background. I then overlaid my "created in Illustrator and then edited and finished in Designer" Stoneware Jars. Then I edited other areas of the image to go underneath text in my spread.

Halloween happened during the time I was doing this class, so I played around with combining photos with generations for my holiday card.

Our two models here were samples that were hanging around a home goods design gig that I had. Our witch isn't in focus (some of the Quick Adj filters in Affinity 3 would be fun to try on a photo like this) and her broom is very South Park in terms of its rendering. I was just having fun.

This one's a composite too. I think I successfully merged a real person's face into this generative setting. She is satisfyingly creepy! 😆 And last, I'll upload my final class project. I chose a different sky but otherwise pretty much followed the vids.
