Unklejon Posted May 22, 2023 Share Posted May 22, 2023 OK. I have had al the affinity suite since it launched with the express intention of learning how to use it one day. As ever that “one day” has come faster than expected. So can anyone recommend a book or resource covering publisher 2. Preferably one that starts with the premise of. ”so you haven’t got a clue where to start or what anything means” the online help at serif whilst very good somehow always gravitates to you already knowing what publishing is and what the tools or the publishing terminology means. Any advice welcome as I have been volunteered at 69 years of age to produce a booklet for a mental health and well being art group. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unklejon Posted May 22, 2023 Author Share Posted May 22, 2023 Vielen Dank Komatose - all the suggested videos are excellent, except that they all seem to start at the understanding the trainee knows about basic Publishing before hand.

If I read it right, you lack general basic knowledge about desktop publishing? Unfortunately, no Youtube video will give you that. Maybe a web search with the following keywords will give you a result: Desktop Publishing and Design For Dummies by Roger C.
