Creating a vintage Christmas pattern in Affinity Designer with Tracey Capone

Embark on a festive journey with artist and teacher Tracey Capone as she shows you how to create vintage tiled patterns that can be used for custom Christmas wrapping and cards. She’ll first walk you through her pattern-making process, utilising many new features in Affinity Designer 2, before sharing top tips for print-on-demand services. A self-proclaimed art nerd, Tracey loves finding ways to use digital design apps to make the creative process more efficient but still fun. She teaches digital art and design using the Affinity apps on YouTube and Skillshare (where she is a Top Teacher), as well as through her own learning community, The Creator Collage. She will be available on YouTube’s Live Chat for the creative session’s premiere on Friday, 22nd December 2023 at 4pm GMT.
