Tutorial: Seven Image Transfer Methods by Denise J Herman – hands down the best tutorial for image transfers I have seen.
Zine Folding 101 – Expressive Monkey
Infinity Zine on itch.io – a template for Affinity
Precious Plastic
Inkscape – free tool for vector art
Affinity Suite – actually own your creative software again – Affinity gives you the option on Mac to buy Publisher, Designer, and Photo for your desktop and iPad, for $164. This is a crazy good deal, and the apps are interoperable – you can jump between them while you’re working in Publisher.
PhotoPea – great free in-browser design tool, and provides the conversion from bitmap to vector that Affinity lacks.
Using and Cleaning Silkscreens: Great, detailed tutorial on screen printing onto polymer clay. A+
