Rounded corners soften the appearance of shapes and objects within designs. The ability to control the curvature of corners allows for a more visually appealing and modern aesthetic, moving away from the starkness of purely angular forms. This feature is accessible within Affinity Designer, providing users with several methods to achieve this effect.
Implementing rounded corners enhances visual appeal, often leading to a more inviting and user-friendly design. Historically, sharp corners were prevalent due to limitations in manufacturing and design software. However, the introduction of digital design tools that readily support curved elements has made rounded corners a standard feature, influencing design trends across various mediums. The implementation of this effect contributes to a perception of softness and approachability, often improving user engagement.
