Affinity Designer - Document Templates

Affinity Designer comes bundled with a large collection document templates that make your life that much easier when creating new digital art.

Being a designer for screens this day and age mean you need to understand the real estate a given device allows you to create within. Understanding the boundaries is half the problem. Executing a great user experience is the other half.

Document templates inside Affinity Designer v1.5.4 include presets for Print, Photo, Web, and Device. Within these categories, you can dive deeper and create many artboards of the same size or different sizes completely.

Here's the list of all the presets to give you some perspective:

Whew! So as you can see…There are quite a few templates ready to get you running extremely fast. For feature images of this blog as well as YouTube and other social media networks, I find the Web templates extremely useful when generating unique images.

Hopefully, this overview gave you some inside about Affinity Designer. I realize document templates isn't the most exciting topic but in terms of saving time, I think that's something to be excited about. I hope you'll agree!
