Designing with Affinity’s Layout Studio
A well-designed layout turns a collection of images into something unforgettable. In this lesson, we’ll show you how to create a professional photobook in Affinity, using striking insect photography by Marit Van Ekelenburg as your foundation.
You’ll begin by setting up your document and building master pages to keep everything consistent. From there, you’ll create guides to structure each spread, map out your pages using picture and text frames, and place imagery and copy with intention. Finally, you’ll prepare the file for professional print export.
