Hi - I'm Tim

I'm a senior trainer, and designer at Red Rocket Studio, and a university lecturer working in and around London.

Welcome to my Intermediate to Advanced Course in Affinity Publisher V1.

(Please note this was originally for Version 1 and there has now been a new release, Version 2 for which I have added updates. V2 is very similar and there are very few differences that you'll notice when doing the course. You will of course notice that the icons are now in color where they were previously in black and white. Functionally they are still the same).

You need a working knowledge of the essentials (which you can find in my Essentials of Affinity Publisher for Beginners course).

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 to 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:

An in-depth look into the intermediate and advanced features
How to work with tables
How to use data from Excel in your tables
How to create a Table of Contents
Work faster and smarter with Master Pages
Speed up your process using custom styles
Learn advanced shape techniques as as working with the pen tool
Understand how to preflight 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 and 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.

There are 2 Excel files with some data for you to use if you don't have your own for the tables exercises and projects which require data.
