Tutorial: How to Create a Vintage Camera in Adobe Illustrator – Envato Tuts
Once again I have turned an Adobe Illustrator tutorial into an Affinity Designer tutorial (I am getting rather good at this). I was interested in this image because it used rather simple shapes, but by using different hues and shades a very effective image can be created. The image is inspired by the Leica M6. My current camera is call my phone….

Tutorial: How to Design a Set of Retro Kitchen Items in Affinity Designer – Envato Tuts
This image mixes two graphic styles (maybe three) – Retro (in this case Art Deco) and Flat Art. All three objects (mixer, blender and toaster) definitly in the flat art style. I find the mixer and toaster very much in Art Deco, maybe the blender not quite as much. The third art style is icon – I can see the background removed and the three objects separated and they could be used as icons.
One of the cool things is that this tutorial is for Affinity Designer – this is rather uncommon and a cool thing (and something important for the adaptation of Affinity Designer).

Tutorial:How to Create a Coffee Scene Illustration in Adobe Illustrator – Envato Tuts
Another flat art image?… Yes.
Another Lighthouse? Nope. Good!
Glad to get off the lighthouse artwork scene (well not really), but I did stay in the Flat Art style. It is a good style to develop my Affinity Designer skills. But once again the tutorial was based on Adobe Illustrator, so it helped me work on my Adobe Illustrator to Designer translation skills.
P.S. it is hot outside today, so I might skip the coffee, but I will take the cookie (never say no to a cookie).

Tutorial: Design a Gritty Vintage Airshow Poster/ – Design Cuts
This image shows off the power of a vector (Illustrator) / bit map (Photoshop) software tag team in the creation of an image. The actual images (the map, the aircraft shape and text were all created in Illustrator and the weathering of the images was done in Photoshop.

Tutorial: Blue LightingTV YouTube Channel
I have not posted anything in a while, so I figured it was time to get something done. A poster was a natural fit (I have already done a baker’s dozen posters on this website). I saw a tutorial on the Blue LightingTV YouTube channel, well it made my desire to get something done even greater. You can see the result.

Tutorial: Spoon Graphics Blog
This image is inspired from the posters used in the movie The Great Gatsby (2013) starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Since I did not see the movie, I am not sure if the art deco design was used in the movie or just in the marketing.
