To create a template from scratch, you do it the same way you would any other template: first open a new document & add all the graphic elements you want the template to include. Then use File > Export as Template to save it wherever you want. https://affinity.help/designer/en-US.lproj/pages/GetStarted/templates.html Quote All 3 1.10.8, & all 3 V2.4.1 Mac apps; 2020 iMac 27"; 3.8GHz i7, Radeon Pro 5700, 32GB RAM; macOS 10.15.7 Affinity Photo 1.10.8; Affinity Designer 1.108; & all 3 V2 apps for iPad; 6th Generation iPad 32 GB; Apple Pencil; iPadOS 15.7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of sports or “gameday” graphics do you want to create? I'm going by what the youtubers claim and since they seem to work for or with Affinity I guess I believe them. I am trying to create a football gameday graphics background that I can save as a template and can use it with Cheerleaders as well something similar to this attachment if you can help I would appreciate it thanks.

Do you have a link to anything that indicates any "youtubers" work for Serif, or is it just that some of them use an Affinity product in some of their videos? 3 minutes ago, lcandelario said: Where do I get the graphics? Among other things you can try searching in AP the Stock Panel for suitable items to combine to get the look you want. You can also search the web for sports-related graphic elements -- you should find thousands of them, some free & some you would need to buy a license for to use them.

firstdefence Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 For the time it will take yo to amass a decent collection of gameday posters you could probably learn to do it yourself, make better customised posters and sell them yourself and earn some cash to boot.

Also, if you hover the pointer over one of the tools in the Tools panel, after a delay a tooltip should pop up & if that tool has a shortcut assigned to it, it should be shown in parentheses after its name. For the other shortcuts, note that they are mostly slightly different for Macs & Windows.

lcandelario Posted August 23, 2022 Author Share Posted August 23, 2022 Sure, since others would not help me I just bought a Template, no one showed me or helped in Affinity Photo how to make one Affinity Photo is like a supper market self service definitely not for beginners like me if you have some past use with Photoshop then yea its ok but if you are brand new forget it Photo shop may have a monthly fee but you get live help and that alone its worth the money. After endless hours of search I found a video that gave me ideas and talking to others on Facebook groups they suggested a company that sells premade templates at a really good price they also give you a free one for signing u. You can take the template and move the layers and that will give you an idea on how to put one together or since the prices are so cheap why not just buy them and reuse them and you can add and remove anything you want on the template. here are the links I hope this helps someone. https://ashedesign.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
