If the answer to any of those questions is Yes, then read on.

If you are on a tight budget but want to get into graphic design and online publishing, then you have no doubt tried the free software routes of Canva, Pixlr, and others like PowerPoint (some cost). And there is absolutely nothing wrong with any of those programs. They all do the job well enough.

Being free (mostly) is their main feature though, and you often have to jump around a lot or convert file formats to get the job done. If you want better templates or extra features then you usually have to pay extra.

Wouldn’t it be nice to have just one program that does everything you need? You may even already have it, just not know how to use it to its full extent, or how to use it well enough to create low content books, graphics, covers, the whole shebang in this one program?

Hi, my name is Jayne Willingale and I’ve been using this software for several years now to produce all the graphics for my printables, templates, books and artwork. It’s called Affinity Designer and was the flagship program for Affinity’s publishing suite first launched in 2015.

“Okay, that’s all well and good, but I already use PowerPoint, why should I change?”

 

You don’t need to of course. Powerpoint is a great program, but it is first and foremost a ‘presentation’ program and as such still has some limitations when it comes to graphics. You can create them, but you are limited to how well you can manipulate them, redraw and edit.  At the very least you need a digital pen to perfect it. Here I am offering you an alternative that will give you much more scope. With Designer you can learn to easily create your own graphics!

 

“Won’t I have to subscribe to yet another software?”

Absolutely not. Affinity is committed to keeping its software in the reach of small businesses and sole entrepreneurs like you and me. They sell for a fixed one-off price, give you lifetime updates for free and provide excellent forum support for all their programs.

 

“How will I access my course?”

Once logged in to the member’s area, you can access all your courses under the ‘My Courses’ link. You get lifetime access as well as to any updates and additional material as it becomes available. 

 

“Can I use it on Windows?”

Yes, Designer is available for both Mac and Windows.

 

“I’m a complete beginner. Will your course be any good for me?”

Yes, my courses take you through all the steps you need to know before creating graphics. They are suitable for complete beginners and intermediate users.

What will you learn with this course?

Along with over 55 concise videos that take you from how to set up the workspace to how to create numerous types of graphics, this course offers the following:

  • We start off in Module One by running through the basic layout of the program, what the tools are called, setting up your workspace, how to use shortcuts to make using the program more efficient, and the basics of how to just open and place files. Remember this course is for complete beginners too.
  • In Module Two I guide you through artboard management, the available presets, and how to create your own. How to use the helpful tools for efficient and speedy graphic creation.
  • Module Three gets into all the details of mastering text layout and use. Master these and your cover design will no longer be a headache.
  • In Module Four we get graphical. Learn how to create various shapes, what you can do with them, how to color them, use pattern fills, create graphical layouts, drawing and painting.
  • Module Five is about Layers, Adjustments and Effects – the tools that make graphics ‘pop’ and ‘sizzle’ on the page
  • And then in Module 6 I cover several different projects with ideas on how to use the power of Designer for printables and other products.
  • And more being added as I write . . .

There is a Facebook group for members to ask questions, support each other, and put in requests for new videos on how to do things that may not be in the course. I certainly have not covered everything that Designer can do by any means! I believe you don’t need to get bogged down in unnecessary detail, just learn to produce the kind of graphics you wish to use in low content books and then expand from there if you wish. You will have the groundwork skills to build on.

“Jayne has done it again. She has taken what seems to be a complicated piece of software and broken it down into easy to understand techniques. The fear of using this software, that has languished on my computer for 18 months, has gone.

“This course on Affinity Designer is in 6 modules. The first five cover the basic techniques in 46 easy to understand bite size videos. The last module has longer videos that show you how to use those techniques to create products.”
