Another one for the shelf 🏆 We’ve just won a @CreativeReview Annual Award in Brand Identity, Rebrand. Turns out being obsessive.af about every curve, corner and character pays off 💚

⚡️Affinity finally has a Blend Tool — and more.
My version of the Blend Tool produces much cleaner vector shapes than Illustrator and gives consistent, high-quality results even with complex forms.
With the new @claudeai integration, you can build your own tools in @Affinity via scripting and vibe coding.
I’ve already made a few that significantly improve my workflow.
Might release it later — after some more testing.
