In this tutorial we'll be going over a simple design hack that allows you to draw perfectly symmetrical wavy lines in Affinity Designer by slicing a circle and duplicating it repeatedly. This is the same approach used to generate the waves in a logo design tutorial from earlier this year.
Typically you would think to use the Pen Tool to draw wavy lines, and you certainly can, but the problem with that tool is that it's difficult to make the contours fluid and nearly impossible to make them symmetrical.
