How to make printables in Affinity Publisher

In this course I'll teach you how to make your own planner printables from start to finish using Affinity Publisher.

This software only came out in 2019 and is much cheaper (no subscription!) and more user friendly) than Adobe Indesign.

If you're looking for software with capabilities similar to Photoshop but as easy to use as Microsoft Word or Apple pages, then Affinity Publisher is the perfect software for you.

By the end of this course you’ll be able to:

• Create a planner printable in a few minutes
• Create a complete planner from start to finish including the cover, daily planner, weekly planner, monthly calendars, monthly planning, to do checklist, graph paper, lined notes, habit tracker, important dates page, budget, bill due checklist etc.
• You can create a planner that is exactly to your liking - you get to choose if the week starts on a Sunday or Monday
• How to use templates (which I teach how to make in the ecourse) to create more printables
• Create planner printables at any size you like
• How to add automatic page numbers
• Personalised planner cover (including how to make a monogram)
