Well the Designer workbook is, as it's name implies, a book for those who prefer to learn by (re)doing projects from a printed book instead of online video tutorials. I still gave Serif some revenue and these pks will give me more value for my money. Instead, I bought 2 content pks, The Shizzle Style and Brush Pack and Stipple Studio by True Grit Texture Supply. So, I decided to skip the books and stick with the tutes and vids that focus on what I want. This was my original concern, when I looked at the sales page for the work book, that I could not put into words. One Amazon feedback comment said that because of the designers projects that the book seemed to be based more on style rather than content. I prefer generic instructions that show me how to use the app, like the Affinity onsite tutes and the YT vids. Most of the book would not be of interest to me. Out of 7 designers, I'd only be interested in 1 mainly, possibly 2-3 of them. ![]() I don't care for the style or projects of most of the designers featured and I don't want to learn how they do their own projects with the end results that they desire. I had noticed that all designers are featured but I would prefer a workbook written by the Serif staff who designed the software. ![]() One comment, in particular, supported an important concern of mine and that is regarding the authors of the projects in the book. I read 1-star, 3-star and some of the 5-star feedback. After reading feedback for the Designer work book, at Amazon, I decided that it would not give me the value that I would want. ![]() The colophon says “Edition 1.0 (reprint 2)”.
