Create coloring books for yourself, as a gift, or to sell on Amazon!

As time marches on, more and more of you are turning to Affinity Publisher to create beautiful, professional looking interior and cover designs for your low-content books. This is awesome! As someone who spent a decade as a professional designer and art director there’s no program I recommend more for those that want the full range of desktop publishing design capabilities at a teensy weensy fraction of the cost of its main competitor, Adobe InDesign. If you want an efficient, streamlined experience in a program that will allow you to grow as a creative while honing your design skills, this is the program for you.

In today’s tutorial I’ll show you how to make a coloring book using stock vector artwork. I’ve already done a similar tutorial using Affinity Designer, Affinity’s dedicated vector editing program, but this video is for those who want to get proficient with just the one program before considering picking up a second. You might be surprised at how much vector editing can be done in that one program alone!
