Sometimes the easiest of things can be the most annoying to figure out how to solve. The other day I had a logo that I needed to cut a shape out of another shape so that I could use it for screen printing. I thought this would be easy, but it took me about 20 minutes to figure it out. Follow the simple process below if you also need to do the same thing.

Two Layers

Here is the logo I was working with. As you can see, I have two layers. One is the black on the Viking, and another is just a white solid layer behind it. The problem is that for a single color screen printing, I really needed this to be transparent. So I needed to cut the shape out of the shape below it.

Subtracting

All that needs to be done is a simple subtract. Make sure you have the two layers selected. Then select the following: “Layer → Geometry → Subtract.”

And there we go. As you can see, the top black layer cut through the bottom solid white layer. Now I’m good for a single color screen printing.

Using tools like Affinity Designer is quite easy once you figure out what you need to do. The hard part is sometimes searching for something when you don’t exactly know what it is called.

Affinity Designer is a vector graphics editor developed by Serif for macOS, iPadOS, and Microsoft Windows. It is part of the 'Affinity trinity' alongside Affinity Photo and Affinity Publisher. Affinity Designer is available for purchase directly from the company website and in the Mac App Store, iOS App Store, and the Microsoft Store.

Functionality[edit]

Affinity Designer serves as a successor to Serif's own DrawPlus software, which the company discontinued in August 2017 in order to focus on the Affinity product range.^[2] It has been described as an Adobe Illustrator alternative,^[3][4][5] and is compatible with common graphics file formats, including Adobe Illustrator (AI), Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG), Adobe Photoshop (PSD), Portable Document Format (PDF), and Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) formats.^[6] The application can also import data from some Adobe FreeHand files (specifically versions 10 & MX).^[7]

Affinity Designer's core functions include vector pen and shape-drawing tools, support for custom vector and raster brushes (including the ability to import Adobe Photoshop (ABR) brushes), dynamic symbols, stroke stabilization, text style management, and vector/pixel export options.^[5][8][9]

Affinity Designer provides non-destructive editing features across unlimited layers, with pan and zoom at 60fps, and real-time views for effects and transformations.^[10] It supports the RGB, RGB Hex, LAB, CMYK and Grayscale color models, along with PANTONE color swatches and an end-to-end CMYK workflow with ICC color management, and 16-bit per channel editing.^[11][9]

Development[edit]

Affinity Designer began as a vector graphics editor solely for macOS. It was developed entirely from scratch for this operating system, allowing it to leverage core native technologies such as OpenGL, Grand Central Dispatch, and Core Graphics.^[12]

The first version was released in October 2014, making it the first of the Affinity apps to be released by Serif (and their first macOS release).^[13] At that time, Serif's vector graphics application for Windows was DrawPlus; however, following the release of Affinity Designer for Windows, this product has now been discontinued.^[14]

Version 1.2, released in April 2015, introduced new tools and features, such as a corner tool and a pixel-alignment mode for GUI design tasks.^[15] In December 2015, version 1.4 then introduced new features for managing artboards and printing.^[16] With version 1.5 in October 2016, the application received multiple new features, including symbols, constraints, asset management and text styles.^[17]

The application began branching out to other platforms in November 2016, when it first launched for Microsoft Windows.^[18]

Version 1.6 was released in November 2017, introducing performance improvements and alternative GUI display mode.^[19]

The first release of a separate iPad version of Affinity Designer took place in July 2018.^[20]

Version 1.7 was released in June 2019 adding some key features such as HDR support, unlimited strokes and fills to a single shape, new point transform tool, new transform mode in Node tool, Lasso selection of nodes, new sculpt mode added to pencil, and also some big performance improvements.^[21] Version 1.8, released in February 2020, added the ability for users to define their own document templates and keyboard shortcuts, and a built-in panel for adding stock images.^[22]

Reception[edit]

Affinity Designer was selected as a runner-up in Apple's 'Best of 2014' list of Mac App Store and iTunes Store content in the macOS app category.^[23][24][25] It also was one of the winners of the 2015 Apple Design Award.^[26]

In 2018, the Windows version of Affinity Designer won 'Application Creator of the Year' at the Windows Developer Awards (part of Microsoft Build 2018).^[27]
