Affinity Designer is a powerful vector graphics design program often used in graphic design, UI/UX design, web design, and illustration. One of the tools that makes Affinity Designer so powerful is the Boolean tool. This tool can be used to quickly combine shapes and parts of an image, making it the perfect tool for creating illustrations and logos.

Here’s how to use the Boolean tool in Affinity Designer:

1. First, select the shapes or items that you want to combine. You can do this by holding down the ‘Shift’ key while selecting your objects.
2. Once you have selected your shapes, go to the ‘Boolean Tool’ in the ‘Tools’ tab. Here you can choose what type of combination you would like to perform. You can choose to ‘Add’, ‘Subtract’, ‘Intersect’, or ‘Exclude Overlapping Area’.
3. Once you have chosen your combination, press the ‘Apply’ button. Your objects should now be combined into a single shape or item.
4. If you want to make changes to your combined objects, you can do so by double-clicking on them. This will bring up a ‘Boolean Settings’ window where you can adjust the size and position of the objects.

That’s how to use the Boolean tool in Affinity Designer. This powerful tool can help you quickly combine shapes and objects, making it perfect for illustrations and logos. With the Boolean tool, you can create complicated images in just a few clicks!
