Hi everyone!

If you're here, you have either upgraded to Affinity Designer for iPad V2, or you're thinking about upgrading and want to get a peek at what you'll find when you do. Either way, welcome to class!

If you have already taken a look at the app, you may have noticed things have changed a bit and, while the existing tools haven’t changed that much, the overall interface got an overhaul and there are some brand new tools that have been added to the lineup. In this class, I’m going to walk you through all of the changes, additions and updates and show you how to put the new tools to work for you.

The layout and functions of the all new Home screen. In this lesson, you will learn how to create new documents, import existing documents, save and use presets and templates, and create projects, which allow you to organize you documents and work more efficiently.
What's new with the user interface. We'll cover what has been added, moved and changed, including the revamped Contextual Menu.
Key changes to the existing tools, such as "Auto Close," on the Pencil tool, and the ability to import and export color palettes.
How to use Designer V2's all new tools: Shape Builder, Knife Tool and Warp Groups and we'll use all three, along with several existing tools, to create a fun Scandi inspired floral illustration.

Throughout the class, I'll be providing you with my own tips and tricks on how I use the new tools in a variety of scenarios.

This class is intended for users of all levels, and is beginner friendly, however it does assume some familiarity with Affinity Designer for iPad V1, as it is intended for those who have upgraded, or are considering upgrading.

For those who are brand new to Affinity Designer with version 2, you are welcome to take the class, however, I will be publishing a full length, Beginner's Guide to Affinity Designer for iPad V2 here on my channel as well. Be sure to hit follow, so you know as soon as it's released.

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 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. I was involved in the beta testing for Affinity Designer V2, so I have had the opportunity to dive in to the app and learns its ins and outs over that time.

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.
