Affinity Vector-Studio: Create graphics, logos and pictograms

Affinity "Vector-Studio" is a vector-based graphic design program. It is suitable for creating graphics, logos and pictograms. At the beginning of the course, you will learn the basics of the program and try it out with short assignments. Participants are invited to bring their own graphic projects to the second part of the course.
