Artpix Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 (edited) Hi there, I would love to know how to design and create a printable wall planner with my own photos for next year. I currently have Affinity Photo in which to do this. Any suggestions or pointers would be appreciated. I love teaching clips as a way of learning.. With thanks Artpix Edited August 13, 2019 by Artpix Capital letter adjustment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted August 13, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 13, 2019 Hi Artpix and Welcome to the Forums, Really depends on the type of wall planner you want to create. You can start a blank document and use File>Place to bring in your images but we don't have a table tool for the table/grid part that year planners have. You could always look for an image online which contains the layout and place that over the top of your images. You could also manually use the Pen Tool and draw in the needed segments or the other option, place text boxes with headings where needed. I'm sure if anyone else has another method, they will post shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artpix Posted August 14, 2019 Author Share Posted August 14, 2019 Hi stokerg, Thank you for your response. It was a year planner that I was referring to. I'll give your suggestions a try and see how I get on. Meanwhile, if any other ideas pop up, I would be interested too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 See for example: http://www.calendarpedia.com/ You can import certain PDF templates and then reuse/alter portions of those for your individual needs.

Artpix Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Thanks v_kyr, I have checked this site out, but would like to make something from scratch. If you have any other ideas on how I could do this, I would appreciate it. AP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim_L Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Affinity Photo is not the best tool for this task, I would go so far to say it would be the "worst" tool, better it would be with Affinity Designer, best it would be with Affinity Publisher. But this is just my opinion. Here are some good videos to start with Publisher: https://affinity.serif.com/de/tutorials/publisher/desktop/ Quote ------ Windows 10 | i5-8500 CPU | Intel UHD 630 Graphics | 32 GB RAM | Latest Retail and Beta versions of complete Affinity range installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artpix Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 Thank you @Joachim_L Affinity Publisher looks very intuitive too. The tables option allows you to create one manually. Just the ticket! one excited newbie....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
