Vince42 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi, I am about to redo a customer design for some notebooks with Affinity Designer. Thanks to great user feedback, we already clarified in another thread how it can be achieved to get a background pattern with dots. In order to illustrate my design and my next question, I also attached the current print template. From what I read and learned so far, it seems that I should create a file with (at least) two artboards, one for the front, one for the back. My next task is to find means to provide a page template for each artboard. The page template resembles the constraints that the production company provided. I would like to be able to add multiple artboards and assign those templates to them. The page template should be invisible when exporting the artboards into a PDF or EPS. I read in another thread which options are available for creating templates and I wonder, whether I should strive for creating "artboard templates" and add it to assets; the logo could be placed in "studio contents"? Any other ideas on the realization of my design project are also welcome as I am a complete beginner with Affinity Designer.

Staff Leigh Posted October 20, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 20, 2017 No worries Vince42 - Can you supply your file in another format such as .PDF? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince42 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Share Posted October 24, 2017 The Open Document Graphics was the only option for illustrating the layer / template concept, as PDF does not provide layers. I can upload the specification as PDF though - maybe it will help to depict the constraints and my desire.

Staff Leigh Posted October 26, 2017 Staff Share Posted October 26, 2017 Thanks for your files. You can use the Assets Panel to store your Page Template(s) or individual objects of the Page Template(s) for use within the current and/or future documents. If you want to hide a specific Page Template that is used within an Artboard you can use the Export Persona to hide layers when exporting from File > Export or from within the Export Persona.
