Hi all, first time on the forums. Just purchased Affinity Designer and hoping this can replace my need for Adobe Illustrator. First thing I was planning on doing was create a collection of 12 monthly calendars for 2019. I do this for my mother's business each year. I was looking around but don't seem to see anything simple which is what I am looking for. I also put some custom fields to be filled out by hand on specific calendar days. I was looking for something in this style:

Is this something I will have to do manually, change days month by month, or is there a 2019 monthly template out there?

You could use the Power Duplicate feature to create the date squares and day strip.

Power duplicate is Cmd + J (Ctrl + J On Windows)

For the dates

  • Create a square and have it with no fill and a small stroke maybe 2-3 pixels
  • Type a number and position it in the top left corner
  • Now group the shape and the number
  • You can now power duplicate this by pressing Cmd + J (Ctrl + J On Windows)
  • If you move this duplicated group over until it snaps to the right side of the first group and power duplicate again it will duplicate and move to the right.

See:

 

Or in case you want to try out the Publisher Beta, where calendars and the like are actually popular due to table editing, see:

 

☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.6 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.6 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.6 ◆ OSX El Capitan
☛ Affinity V2 apps still not installed and thus momentary not in use under MacOS
