Affinity Designer Mini Tutorial - Miniature Storefront design using basic shapes [workflow]

As part of the challenge on the Facebook group 'Affinity Designer - hands-on' I recorded my workflow while creating the design using basic shapes, the corner tool, and clipping masks. I create the clockmaker's store using basic shapes - circles, rectangles, and cogs - with added text elements. Most of the shapes have solid fills [I did cheat a little and used a few gradients] and use shading shapes inside clipping masks for detail and depth. Reusing, duplicating, and modifying existing elements make it easy to quickly create complex designs. For more Affinity Designer and Inkscape tutorials visit the website at http://2dgameartguru.com.
