what students are saying about the class…
"Tracey is, hands down, the best instructor of Affinity Designer out there. She crafts classes that have no distractions. Engaging content, beautiful audio and video, no unnecessary frills, no silliness, so you can completely concentrate on what your there to learn. Tracey not only shows you every step she takes, but she explains why she's taking them which is sooooo important and something I haven't experienced in every class. I came to her classes new, and, truthfully scared of Designer. After taking Tracey's classes, not only do I have a much deeper understanding of it, and feel more confident using it. I have been able to create my own designs, beyond those for her classes. Thank you, Tracey, for another amazing class. Lines might seem like an easy pattern, but you pinpointed potential problem spots and highlighted them so we could avoid frustration. I definitely recommend this class for someone who has a working knowledge of the interface to get the most out of the class."Jenny N.
"As with every Tracey Capone class I've taken, this was fantastic. It is for anyone whether you are a surface design creator or just a hobby artist like me that likes to get more use out of Affinity Designer. However, if you are a beginner with Affinity I would still watch this class so you can see (and be excited by) what can be accomplished with it."Kathy S.
"Learning so much more on using Affinity designer Tracey is a wonderful teacher and making it simple to be creating I am loving the surface pattern classes it is expanding my designing in Affinity and using procreate less with knowing how to achieve it in the program."Debra S.
