- If you're a designer who wants to build professional quality documents but you don't want to pay a monthly subscription fee for the tools to do your work, I have some great news. There's finally a true alternative to the industry standard page layout programs. It's called Affinity Publisher and while it is a newcomer, it has much of the power and polish of the established programs. I'm Mike Rankin and I've been building books and magazines for 25 years and for a publishing geek like me, Affinity Publisher is the most exciting thing to come along in ages. And in my LinkedIn Learning Course, Affinity Publisher Essential Training, I'll show you all the most important tools and features of this program. I'll show you how to build documents the right way with master pages and styles. You'll see how to flow and format text with advanced type of graphic controls. You'll learn how to work with tables and placed images, how to apply colors and creative effects and output your documents for the screen or professional print jobs. We'll also see the amazing studio link feature, that brings together all the tools and features you need to make spectacular layouts in one place. With it, you can fully edit photos and vector graphics without ever leaving your layout. It's an incredible feature that designers have been dreaming about for years but never had until now and I'm really excited to show it to you, along with so many other great things. So come on and join me at LinkedIn Learning for Affinity Publisher Essential Training.
