The book takes shape…

Description:

In this module, we will work on the layout of your book using Affinity Publisher, an intuitive and powerful software.

Starting from your written material, we will build step by step the graphic structure of your book: margins, titles, paragraphs, images, cover. You will learn how to organize text, use basic layout tools, and export the file as a PDF, ready for printing and hand binding.

A simple, guided, and creative journey to give concrete form to your texts and see them become a tangible object.
