In this mini class, you’ll learn how to use Boolean operations and the Shape Builder Tool to combine, subtract, and refine shapes in Affinity Designer. We cover simple selection methods, common Boolean actions like Add, Subtract, and XOR, and when to use each one. You’ll also see why expanding strokes matters, how Shape Builder handles complex overlaps, and how tools like power duplicate and node smoothing help you work faster and clean up your final vector shapes.
