Affinity: Level Up Your Designs with More Polished Type

23 views on YouTube

Polished typography separates professional designs from amateur work. Let’s bring more typographic clarity and control in Affinity by improving hierarchy through contrast and spacing.

This video is part of a complete brand identity course to help you build confidence in Affinity. Along the way, I’ll share insights and workflows designers use to solve creative problems. Each lesson stands on its own, but together the series forms a start-to-finish project full of real-world design practice. We’ll create a professional logo, develop a visual identity system with supporting graphics and layouts, refine typography, and prepare print-ready files for production.

Chapters in this video:
00:00 take the time to finesse your type
00:57 designers create hierarchy
03:20 paint with a typographic palette
07:51 typographic contrast, baby
12:01 the final polish
