Become A Master Of Affinity Designer
The Affinity Designer Master Class is a comprehensive series of 80+ videos where I go over every tool, feature and function in Affinity Designer and explain what it is, how it works, and why it’s useful. Think of it as a guided tour, in video format, that you can refer to any time you want and can sign in to ask questions.
See How It Works
Each lesson is in video format where I share my screen with you, explain each feature, and demonstrate how it works. All lessons are in 1080p format, have captions in English, and can be downloaded for offline viewing. Watch the video to learn more.
Get One-On-One Support
When you enroll in the Affinity Designer Master Class you will be granted access to our private community and I can personally answer any questions you may have about the course contents if you’re having trouble understanding it.
Since you are a paying customer, you are entitled to my assistance if needed. No questions or comments go unanswered.
A Comprehensive Ad-Free Experience
Unlike the tutorials I upload to YouTube, the Affinity Designer Master Class is a premium video series, meaning no ads and no self-promotion.
This allows me to focus on providing the most useful information possible without having to worry about appeasing the YouTube algorithm.
Step-By-Step Tutorials
Test your knowledge with multiple-choice quizzes and apply what you’ve learned with step-by-step video tutorials. Learn how to design logos, icons, t shirts, and more!

Student Feedback
Hi Nick
Thanks for a great course, I’ve been using Affinity for a couple of years now (mostly Publisher) but have learnt a lot of useful info from your course.
Fantastic course. Well worth the money. Have been for years working in different programs self teaching myself. You saved me countless hours of frustration in learning this program.
Thanks
Super class! I learned so much even though I’ve been using AD. I find this program much more user friendly than Illustrator and this class has opened my eyes to even more possibilities. Looking forward to Photo class as well!
I’ve been using Designer for a few years now, but I still learned some more efficient ways of working thanks to this course.
Thanks again, Nick!
