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.

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