This is another quick video tutorial from 2Dgameartguru on creating a blown and torn special Effect in Affinity Designer.
By using strokes with altered layer blend modes and adjusted pressure curves, it's fairly easy to create an elaborate effect with just a few duplicated lines on top of the base design.
Most of it can be created with other software tools such as Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, or Inkscape with minor alterations and different names for the tools used.

As part of the challenge on the Facebook group Inkscape - hands-on I recorded my workflow when creating designs based on basic shapes. I create this fishmongers store using shapes - circles, rectangles, and stars - 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 clip groups for detail and depth.
Reusing, duplicating, and modifying existing elements speeds up the creation process.
