Course Description

Welcome to my Affinity Publisher - The Essentials for Beginners Course.

You don't need any experience to complete this course as I take you from the very beginning through to a point where you can confidently create your own media.

Affinity Publisher is one of the best publishing pieces of software around and a strong (and more affordable) contender for Adobe InDesign.

It allows you to create beautiful books, magazines and marketing materials through social media posts, website mockups and a variety of other projects. This modern publishing app gives you the power to combine beautiful type, exciting images and amazing graphics to create stunning layouts ready for publication.

It has an easy-to-use interface to help you work in a fast and intuitive way.

The course includes the following:

  • Overview of what Affinity Publisher actually does.

  • Looking at the interface and where to find things.

  • How to set and create various types of documents.

  • Principles of colour (such as RGB and CMYK).

  • Interaction with the Photo persona (part of the Affinity Suite).

  • The basics of typography and how to use it within Affinity Publisher.

  • Working with images and graphical shapes to make your projects "pop"!

  • Working with double-page spread documents.

  • Using image frames with intelligent scaling options.

  • Creating text wrapping with fine padding control.

  • Linking multiple text frames together across your document.

  • Exciting projects to help you remember and put into practice what you've learned.

With powerful features like master pages, tables, text flow professional print output and other awesome features, Affinity Publisher has everything you need to create the perfect layout – whether it's for commercial printing, home printing, web or social media projects.
