We'd better start off by clarifying that we absolutly LOVE Affinity Designer. It's so fun to use. After using many many different vector graphics applications for over 20 years now, it's the most fun. It truly is - a concious pleaure to use it - every time.
We're going to keep any notes about what we're missing in Affinity designer / that keeps us stuck using Adobe Illustrator for some things - here.
(and we'll keep them in order of desire)
Note: if you are a PE student, we usually just call it "The graphics program" in the course materials - but in this document: we will being abbreviating Affinity Designer to AD.
insert image and description. Basically, we'd like to be able to distort a box and some text. Imagine having a wall with space and perspective, or a floor, and then matching up a graphic to that sheer or skew or perspective - or whatever it's called. Figure that out - and add it here to be 100% clear. Of course, you'll need to use another program - to be able to do it / to show it - because AD cannot.

- You'll hear that you "can" warp things - if you use Affinity Photo. And you can. But it will not be a clean vector. (we'll add a video)
