**This half-day workshop is designed to be a practical starting point to help you get hands on and understand what Affinity can do for you. ** It’s ideal for beginners, as well as anyone moving from Adobe, Canva or a mix of creative tools who wants to see how Affinity handles different types of creative work. You’ll start by understanding the overall Affinity workflow, then work through a connected series of activities covering image editing, simple vector graphics and page layout.
Each exercise builds on the previous one, so you can develop skills steadily, ask questions as you go, and leave with finished work across the Affinity suite. By the end of the session, you’ll have a clearer sense of what Affinity can help you create and which area you may want to explore next.
This course is available as a private training session that can be delivered virtually or at a location of your choice across the US, globally or online.
