Publisher Workbook Resources

[FrankAPerry]

I'm trying to do the tutorial for Section 3 “Fashionista Lookbooks” (p. 266) from the new Publisher Workbook. I’ve downloaded the resources for “Section 3 Fashionista Lookbooks” from the listed link “https://affin.co/Fashionista”. The unzipped folder contains the following files (screenshot below). 
 On p. 274 of the Workbook it asks me to add images to the picture frames by using File>Place. The resource listed at the top of p. 272 is given as “Jonvan - Lookbook.aftemplate” and I think it is the page layout with empty picture frames (the second one above in the screenshot). I can’t find resources for the images shown in the book. This has happened to me in earlier projects (unable to find the images shown in the book.) So I’m obviously missing something. I would expect to find an images file. I’ve tried all five files in the screen shot and they’re all layouts with empty frames. Sorry to seem so dim but something about downloading the resources from Affinity is escaping me. HELP!

I think the idea is that you should fill the picture frames with your own images. If you don’t have any suitable image files to hand, you can download them for free from sites such as Unsplash.com.

By the way, it’s a good idea to set Windows File Explorer not to hide filename extensions for known file types. As it stands, it isn’t immediately obvious from your screenshot that the ‘Smart pages’ file is a Publisher document (*.afpub) but Aurelie, Jonvan, and Komodo are template (*.aftemplate) files.

From page 267:

The resources in this project are Affinity Publisher templates that you can populate with your own sourced imagery.

Thank you, Alfred, for the help. That  makes sense considering I keep running into the problem.
