what students are saying about the class…

Really enjoyed this class and appreciated how bite size, concise and informative the lessons were. Tracey has an excellent way of presenting detailed information and she speaks clearly, without a lot of jibber jabber, and at a good pace for this hard of hearing person (me). This was exactly the course I needed to get back into designing and experimenting on Affinity after a self-imposed winter break. Highly recommend to anyone looking to explore surface pattern design Affinity Designer on the desktop or iPad. Thanks! Would love to see more short classes like this on Affinity.

Super class and as usual with this teacher, it’s the clever techniques woven into the practical lessons that are so valuable. I doubt that anyone, be they a relative beginner or an experienced digital designer, would fail to learn something new from Tracey Capone.
