Learn to Design Digital Stickers in Affinity Designer 2 on the Desktop

I’m Jen Lezan, I’m a top teacher here on Skillshare, but you may have also seen my work on my YouTube Channel the Creative Studio. I’ve been a graphic designer, illustrator and educator for the last 16 years. I’m based out of the midwest and I love helping others take their creativity to the next level. You can find my work over on bellasophiacreative.com. I’m really excited to share a new and updated version of this course. In the past, I walked students through how to design digital stickers in Affinity Designer V1 on the desktop, but with the updated version, I thought this would be a great time to share an updated course.

What this Class is About

Digital planning and sticker design in general has continued to grow in popularity. From the hobbyist to the professional creative, making your own digital stickers has become a popular way to channel your creativity or turn into a side hustle. One software that I am a huge supporter of and that I have found to be a great alternative to the traditional adobe suites is Affinity. There are 3 professional apps in the suite – Designer which is a vector program, Photo which is a raster based program and Publisher which is meant for layout design. I prefer Designer for sticker design because it allows you to simply and quickly create precise shapes, align and space items easily, add vector effects to the shapes and export your images as slices to PNG files without a background. The beauty of the Affinity programs is that all three are both on the desktop and iPad. With Canva’s recent acquisition, I’m sure more and more people will want to learn about them.
