Affinity Designer really scratches that Adobe Illustrator itch. Since I’m now out of my frustration flunk, I’m actually enjoying the new program. Even getting a few things done that I was struggling with due to my flunk. Case in point: illustrator vs designer. You can clearly see which one I was struggling due to frustration and which one I’m more calm.

Frustrated me just tries to do everything the easiest possible route without trying out different ideas because I’m mentally stuck. While calm and creative me plays around with stuff to where it ends up feeling better overall (experience in doing the process that is).

These are just drafts, so images will change. But point is I’m having fun again since I’m not frustrated.
