Grid Builder – Layout Composer

Creating stunning lettering layouts has never been easier!

Something that I struggle with and I know you guys do to, is laying out a great composition within your lettering work. You have the quote or words you want to use, you know the style, but you just get stuck with how to lay it out, so it doesn’t look like letters just thrown onto a page.

So together (Stefan Kunz and myself) we thought about how we could produce something that could make this process as easy as possible, but still giving you guys the tools to create completely unique pieces of art.

That’s when we came up with Grid Builder. A set of 35 individual grid shapes that you can place together to act as guides when creating your layouts. They can be resized, stretched and recolored so that every layout you compose will look completely different from the next.

What’s more, they work in nearly all of the top lettering programs. Brushes in Procreate, Custom Shapes & Brushes in Adobe Photoshop and drag & drop Symbols in Adobe Illustrator. So whether you have an iPad, Surface, Wacom or Desktop Computer there is an option that can work for you.

Want to use it with your pens and pencils? No problem, compose them in one of the above programs and print it off!

Want to use it in a program not listed below? Use the Grid Builder font in apps like Keynote, Powerpoint, CorelDraw, Canva, anything that has access to fonts.

Letter Builder

Presenting Letter Builder, an amazing tool allowing you to draw consistent letter-forms with more ease than ever!

With Letter Builder we focused on a common lettering problem, consistency in our letterforms. As lettering artists, we want to maintain size, width, thickness, and style throughout a word. So we designed a number of letter grids that give you the basic form of each letter of the uppercase alphabet so you can spend more time giving the letters your own unique finesse. That’s right, using Letter Builder, drawing the outlines of Serif and Sans Serif letters consistently have never been easier!

Whether you are a lettering artist designing quotes, a type designer and want to create a full alphabet, or a calligrapher and use as a guide sheet, we care about every aspect of your design process and aim to make it better and easier with each one of our products so that you have more headspace for your creativity.

Perfect Pencils Brush Pack

I’ve used the pattern brush feature to build brushes that repeat the same section seamlessly along the stroke. Each brush contains end tiles alongside both inner and outer corner tiles for drawing right angles. (Beware of pattern art brushes not including corner tiles as the ability to draw fluidly is seriously inhibited without them).

Taking on board customer feedback, but not losing the life-like fluidity of a pencil was the real challenge. The danger when using pattern brushes for artist tools is that they lose the vitality of the source material, but I’ve definitely achieved my goal with this pack.

I’ve also included some dynamic and very short brushes too so you have a brush for every purpose.

Included in this set:

The Brushes

• Graphite Pencil Brushes: 12 Anti-stretch brushes and 12 short brushes – based on real pencil lead grades for Affinity and Illustrator.

Coloring Pencil Brushes

• 6 Anti-stretch brushes, 2 short brushes, and 4 dynamic strokes. All sourced from genuine pencils.

Graphite Swatches

• Using colors taken from real graphite. Use these to color your artwork accurately and quickly.

A Quick Reference Guide

• This will help you find the right brushes for the task in hand quickly.

Example Files

• A selection of the preview images. Use these to see how I achieved the look.

Instructions

• A very thorough guide on how to load, apply and then adjust the brushes is supplied.

So now you can enjoy creating authentic looking vintage artwork more easily.

You asked I listened…

I’ve received countless requests to convert my Finest Vintage Illustrator Brushes to Affinity Designer and I’m now very excited to release this popular pack to a wider audience.

So, Why is this set so popular?

Sourced from real vintage artwork – helping you achieve maximum authenticity.

This exceptional anti-stretch pattern brushes seamlessly repeat a tile along the stroke rather than stretching one image along the line. This means that you won’t need to change brushes so often, leaving you more time to perfect those authentic-looking designs and classic artwork.

A huge range of brush strokes is included – so you’ll always find the correct one for the task in hand.

Customize the look – layer the brush strokes and give yourself, even more, hatching options.

Time-saving pre-layered shading brush – a pre-layered hatch brush is supplied for when you’re in a hurry.

Multiple Line Brushes – you can draw multiple lines with just one stroke, saving you loads of time! Don’t worry though, some single outline brushes have also been included.

Outstanding Oil Paint Brushes – Affinity

Create realistic looking oil paint art in Affinity Designer!

This authentic looking artist’s tool kit is the result of hours of experimentation, discovering the diverse textures that can be made using oil paint. I’ve used brushes, palette knives, cloths, scraps of cardboard and even my own fingers. The resulting brushes are the closest you’ll get to real oils in Affinity Designer.

So, why is this pack so useful?

• Diverse textures – a wide variety of different paint textures are included.

• Anti-stretch brushes – The pack contains a mixture of anti-stretch brushes (which don’t distort over long strokes) and art brushes which add a more dynamic feel.

• Made with mixing in mind – the gaps in the brushes allow the user to layer the strokes so that the colors below show through – simulating roughly mixed thick paint.

• Authentic look – every stroke was created using real oil paint.

• Real Canvas Background Pattern – I’ve included a canvas texture to add extra realism to your designs!

Please note; This pack works with Affinity Designer only.

Included in this set:

• The Brushes – 50 authentic, messy oil paint brushes.

• The Canvas Background Texture – Add further realism to your artwork. Sourced from real canvas and supplied in bitmap Tiff and .JPG formats. 4000 x 4000 px.

• A quick reference guide – This will help you quickly find the right brushes for the task in hand. In .PDF format.

• Example file – The ice lolly image has been included for you to backwards engineer.
