Join us for an inspiring graphic design course where you’ll learn the fundamentals of Affinity Designer, Photo, and Publisher. Over 10 lessons of 2 hours each, we’ll explore these modern and professional design tools that offer powerful alternatives to Adobe software.

In our Affinity Publisher sessions, we’ll dive into layout design for posters, zines, magazines, and digital publications. You’ll learn about setting up documents, mastering grids and guides, working with typography, and integrating images and vector elements into cohesive visual compositions.

During the Affinity Photo lessons, we’ll explore the world of photo editing and pixel-based design. You’ll practice image retouching, compositing, applying effects, using brushes, and refining textures to bring your visuals to life — all while getting comfortable with non-destructive editing and layers.

In the Affinity Designer classes, you’ll discover the power of vector graphics. We’ll cover logo creation, icon design, character illustration, and scalable artwork for print and digital formats. You’ll learn to combine vector and pixel elements, experiment with color palettes, and explore composition principles.

In our final class, we’ll connect all three parts of the program — Designer, Photo, and Publisher — to create a complete, integrated project showing your new skills in layout, illustration, and image editing.

This course starts from the basics, so no previous experience with Affinity software is required. Whether you’re new to design or switching from other programs, you’ll gain the knowledge and confidence to create professional and expressive visual work. Join us and unlock your creative potential with Affinity.

Note: The Affinity software (Designer, Photo, and Publisher) can be downloaded for free from the official Affinity website. Please bring your own computer with the programs installed. Usva is not providing any of them anymore. The course is offered in English.
