This design is for a youtube channel, for learning design & programming

Sorry if this doesn't belong on this subreddit but I can't find the answer on any forums or the Affinity website.

Creative Studio is a youtube channel for learning programming, design, the logo inspired by the name two C alphabets but the second one is flipped horizontal and the S between them, and the blank spaces in the two C have icons for design, programming

How to avoid this? It's really annoying. I have to manually clean the edges of every image I mask. I use either the Object Selection or the Selection Brush and then refine the mask manually when needed. It's so bad. When I know i will have to do a lot of cutouts i prefer to pay for a month of photoshop.

experimental works as im still figuring out what affinity could do that may be similar to photoshop.

affinity has been serving me well as i do graphic design as a hobby, i can say its fairly capable in making my works come to life.

I wonder if someone who knows font settings better can help me, I'm having issues with a google font called Luxurious Script, it's a beautiful font but at the end of the word it is using a different default letter than it should be, its keeps adding this fancy letter at the end.

I've attached the image I get in Affinity and what Google shows it should look like. I know about Glyphs and tried to find the simple s ending but it makes no difference just ends with this fancy letter always on the last letter of a word and this fancy letter shouldn't be the default as you can't look for a glyph for every word.

Anyone have any ideas why its doing this, can't find any setting.

I made this concept album cover yesterday and had difficulties adding things to it because I had no idea on what to add. I would've shared it here yesterday but I had a certain karma-restriction (I have a fairly new account)

Anyway, for this specific design, I was aiming for an illusion for the large element at the bottom so it would convey two messages at the same time regarding proximity and perspective. I would highly appreciate reviews and critics about it, and maybe an interpretation of what the messages might mean. Thank you!

EDIT: Here's the concept... it's basically about two polar sides of a situation. The unused blank space was to signify isolation. For the silhouette figure, i had it convey two messages; they're falling (red motion blur) to show defeat, and they're glowing in white to show their purity. For the bottom element, it can be viewed as a pit to go in line with the red motion blur so it can complement it as final defeat, and at the same time, you can interpret it as a mountain peak, to go in line with the purity part.

Hey All,

I have no graphic design background but have been enjoying using affinity to play around.

If I drew the black circle and I want to cut out/remove the blue triangle shape out of the black circle so it will result in a black circle with an empty/transparent triangle in the middle.... how do I accomplish this?

--- And, can I do this if I have lets say 20 layers can I 'cut out' a triangle all the way through all of the layers?

Thanks!

DISCLAIMER: I do not have any intention to promote politics or what the design is implying, and it is just for educational and creative purposes. I strongly oppose and condemn the use of generative AI.

I checked out AI posters and how their repetitive ai typically is when it comes to creating posters, and had an idea to create one in Affinity. Here's a screenshot of the layers that I edited it on my own, and the image used on the background. Tell me what you think!
