Summary

In this chapter, we have taken a fairly in-depth look at the Designer Persona toolset. We covered the Artboard tool, the selection tools, the vector creation, adjustment, and transform tools, the color tools, the shape tools, and the navigation tools. That's a lot of tools to cover, and it's roughly only half of what Affinity Designer has to offer.

I encourage you to go back and explore some of the features and options we covered in this chapter, and when you're ready, we'll continue our look at Affinity Designer's tools in our next chapter, exploring the Pixel Persona toolset. The pixel-based tools are just as varied as the vector tools and are the perfect companion for them in this well-rounded application. Let's now dive into Affinity Designer's Pixel Persona toolset!
