Affinity Designer Mini Tutorial - working with the XOR compound

[@greggbabish8552]

Wow, you are very good! I’m new to Affinity Designer and the vector world, but quickly becoming more intrigued with the power and possibilities offered beyond the pixel environment. I’m definitely looking forward to viewing more of your videos and enjoy the knowledge and enthusiasm you are sharing. Thanks again!

Wow! Thanks Chris! 😮

The compound groups and the Xor in particular are underrated and can create some amazing things. Definitely something worth trying... ;)

Thanks Chris for another interesting & helpful video. I’m off to experiment now!

You are welcome! Have fun! It's a cool tool. Mix shapes, texts, and just go wild!

[@2dgameartguru]

You are so welcome! They are not that complicated - and a lot of fun to play around with! Enjoy!

Great stuff !!! The checkerboard effect reminds me of op-art artist Victor Vasarely.

[@2dgameartguru]

Thanks... Yes... It's easy to create designs looking like the works of Victor Vasarely or Bridget Riley with compounds ;) They did it without computer though ;)

@@2dgameartguru I went to a Bridget Riley retrospective a few years ago, which included some of her designs. She used squared paper and templates cut from card -- some of them very large. AD makes it so much easier for us lesser talents. (I'm not including you in that category, btw!)
