Create 3D Text Emblems with Affinity Designer 2.0

- In this tutorial we'll be utilizing some of the new features in V2 of Affinity Designer to create this 3D-style text effect. We'll have to take advantage of the new warp transformations to make this happen. The finished design can work as a logo or emblem.

![How to design half curved text effect [Affinity Designer]](/img/n.gif)
I am so very grateful for your tutorials, Nick. Few Affinity Designer video producers can hold a candle to your clean, clear presentation and easy manner! You don't hum and haw, mumble, backpedal, or obscure the project in any way. Keep up the superb work.
Thanks for this, many things in this video will help me with other projects im working on, specifically the key shortcuts. i only memorized like 2 so far lol so this helped show me more. i watched this video 3 times and followed along and got it just like yours each time so i think i'm good now! learned a lot, thanks!
You're really good at making tutorials. Very thorough and simple to understand each and every step. Thank you. I just made an awesome 3d text emblem!
Thanks for the tutorial, Nick. Very appreciative!
Awesome tutorial, thank you so much!
I learned so much from this! thanks for the great tutorial!
best affinity tutorial i have ever seen
Very interesting workaround for something in "3d". Thank you!
This was a genuinely brill video! Thank you so much. I'm using the OG Affinity Designer but this still worked well for me (With one or two layout differences). I've had Affinity for yeeeeears but seldom use it but I figured I needed to do something with it on a recent gig I had and this video helped me so much to nail what I wanted to do.
Outstanding!! Thank you
Fabulous, right to the point.
I just spent the last hour and a half to do something like this on Affinity Photo V2. Several features either dont exist on photo or have a whole different process to find the same tool. I finally got my design looking like what you have, and though it wasn't done in the exact same way, I am very proud that it looks pretty much identical to what you have. I need to invest in the vector version of affinity hahahah
I want to make the move to affinity, appreciate the videos bruv
These are powerful tools that are forcing me jump off my perpetual licensed install of Illustrator CS6 to have more power and creativity with my vector art. The features in Affinity Designer 2 are helping me to move along in my software transition.
I love this! Will be trying out after work! Thanks!
Is it easy to use for a beginner?
Get back to work
Thanks for the video. Two things to note:
1. The video says to use the text tool. Note there are two kinds; Artistic Text and Frame Text. This video uses Artistic.
2. The video says it recommends a serif font yet the example uses a sans serif font. Microgramma is a sans serif example and, say, Baskerville would be a serif example.
For me, it's easier to simply type in a font size. Don't have to worry about aspect ratio that way. Also my personal preference is to use a whole number font size not something like 183.9.
Would Affinity be easy to use for a beginner like me to get some designs put together for T shirts Etc??
@@YanksandBritsProductions Grab the free 30-day trial, see if you like it.

Only just seen ya message …..no notifications from YT. 🙄🙄
Yes your totally right, I’ll do that grab a 30 day trial 👍👍
Thank you!
gREAT ONE THANKS MY G!
My affinity designer does not have a warp group.
Hi NIck :) Super thanks for the tutorial, well done! at 06:44 you are using subtract operation, do you think setting the curved white text layer to 'erase' blend mode would achieve the same result? thanks
Planning to move from Adobe to Affinity. Thanks!
Lasso selection with the Node Tools works really nce, pressing Alt while selecting
Great Thank you.
Great. Thanks for the tutorial. Is there a variant to create this effect without converting the text to curves to preserve the effect for any text?
Thank you, i was looking for a way to make that kind of lettering design in AD, i wish we can have it keeping text editable in the future.
Thank you
I knew by the voice, I was going to subscribe
That’s really Cool, it would be great for lots of my ideas for designs for T shirts Etc.
I’ve not used Affinity before so I guess I should probably stick to basic Text designs first to get a good idea what I’m doing?
I want to put some together and upload to print on demand.
I get the idea that Photoshop Etc would be way to complicated for me.
WOW, this was awesome. I know if I had to try it myself it would take a long time but you certainly showed all the steps and gave explanation so I'm sure I could do it.
I'm new to Affinity and was actually searching if it's possible to have text (not hand lettering) follow grids. If so, would this be in your Masterclass?
New affinity user and new sub here. Thanks for a great tutorial!
What do you think of it??
Would Affinity be good for me to get some designs together for T shirts?
Maybe stick with basic Text to start with?
I’ll check out your channel later, I would love to get into some gold mining over in the states myself, I used to live over there for 8 years.
@@YanksandBritsProductions I think it is really great program but I am new to this. The learning curve seems to be a lot better than some of the other programs I have tried. You can't beat the price for what you get in my opinion.

Many thanks for your reply, I appreciate that.
If you could give me a tiny bit of advice I would really appreciate it, last night I looked on Affinity’s website and saw that you can buy Designer for around £35 on offer here in England.
I think Affinity Photo is the same price.
They have a Bundle with Designer 2.0 …..plus Photo Etc with an International License.
I was wondering if I should go for that package at £89 on offer from £144
Because it may have the extra things I will need like clip art, photos I can use for my T shirt’s designs.
I’m also guessing that with the License it will enable me to legally sell the designs on T shirts Etc??
Any bit of help & advise would be great, Affinity doesn’t give much information on their Website.
I was thinking, if I go buy Affinity Designer I may not be able to use things for T shirt designs that I intend to sell online with print on demand Etc.
I have a TON of designs in my head and on paper but they don’t make money there …..lol
Have a great day buddy! 👍
@@YanksandBritsProductions I wish I could you decide. I am very new to this. I bought designer only because Photo didn't offer any benefit for me, I don't think. I may regret that later. I also can't speak to licensing as the few designs I have are my own. I figured at that price compared to a monthly subscription as most others are, I couldn't go wrong even if I just used it a few times a month. Sorry I can't help more.
Why didn't you just drag with the text tool to size the type right off the bat? Its a great feature, still haven't seen anyone else do this!
Thank you for the tutorial .!
I have 1 question, how can I do the same thing with vector?
Thank you for the video
I have the 2.0 version but the "false perspective" option doesn't show in warp meny. I can only see "perspective" as an option. How to fix it ?
Great tutorial! So sad that Affinity has no "Extrusion"-tool.
Hope you're still enjoying the sun. Quick question..... when i took my work to the right side of the work page it disappeared, but yours didn't, how can i make mine do that so i can work in all of my available area? Thanks in advance.....
how did you manage to move your work off of canvas and still be able to see it. mine just hides behind the user interface
This is a cool tutorial, but I am still disappointed the developers ditched 'Instant 3D' which was so quick, simple, flexible and useful in the legacy software.
wtf? that was so helpful
É muito bom fazer o efeito 3D na prática, mas o AFD precisa desenvolver uma ferramenta 3D urgentemente.
I dont have the option "false perspective" in the warp tool in Affinity Designer 2. Do I need to enable it?
Nick, do you know of any effect that I could use to give the Embroidery effect to images? I have heard that Photoshop has it. I wished AD did.
I would be happy to see how to do this with AD 1.5
I'd love to know too, I get to the point of selecting "warp group" and that's all I can do 😞
Question: I am interested in paying for your courses, I have the whole Affinity suite 2.0, but 99% of the time I use the iPad version not desktop. Are you planning on the future to add an iPad version of affinity designer course? I am actually interested in purchasing the complete classes you have, but what would make me pull the trigger is if there was an IPad version of Affinity Designer 2.0 … I guess a lot translates from desktop to iPad but not everything. 😊 just asking…I may still become a student anyway, cuz I like your teaching style, but I just really need or would like to have the iPad version…
I just recently gave up on Adobe, and bought the full Affinity suite. is there no 3D extrude type of tool in affinity to create the "extruded" effect?
As a Affinity Design / Photo user I wonder if upgrading to v2 is worth it? I don't do very advanced stuff in designer, but it's my preferred tool to create stuff for stream overlays and youtube thumbnails.
Do you think Affinity would be good for a beginner like me to get some designs together for T shirts Etc?
Maybe stick to just Text designs to start with?
@@YanksandBritsProductions I was a beginner when I got Affinity v1, and I'm very happy with that purchase. Got Designer + Photo during pandemic, think I payed like $50 each
@@mrgusse I was close to a beginner with Designer V1 last year. Bought Photo V1 a bit later. Learned a lot and not regretting paying $99 for V2 because I got the newest features in both, and got Publisher as well for that price. Probably be closer to $150-$200 soon as individual purchases!
Cant you just select the bottom nodes of the first one and just drag them down?
esta bueno el tutorial pero por amor de dios hagan una herramienta que haga ese efecto si tener la necesidad de duplicar tanto corel draw ya tiene una
4:41 What are the shortcuts on a mac? when i did command + j the copies werent layered. They were all stacked on top of each other
It's Command J. You might've missed a step along the way. This feature can be tricky. The two movements in order: 1.) Duplicate and move down, 2.) Scale down from the top node.
It's important not to deselect the object at any point or else the order of transformations gets messed up and it won't work. Try replicating exactly what I did in the video, click for click.
@@DesignMadeSimple What the replacement for that command on AI?
I've spent the last 20 minutes trying to find Convert To Curves. Turns out I need to go from designer to pixel persona :D And moving back to designer brought it back. Weird.
Can i design clothes with this program?
As far as I know you can't Snap warps like the perspective which kind of sucks. basically have to eyeball it as you did.
Need a ipad version this shit hard to copy
I assumed that if it had the arc option, then it must have arch, but it doesn't.
I tried to replicate this design step by step as a learning step. Towards the end when you duplicate it and drag it out of the white page you are able to see the design; when I try to drag it out all I see is is a blue stroke (no white or black). What am I doing wrong?
TOP selection "view" > VIEW MODE > CLIP TO CANVAS
How to change uppercase text to lowercase on affinity bro?
Were you able to warp fonts prior to 2.0?
I'm using 1.10.x and the wrap group is unavailable from the menu location he demo'ed
Why my duplicates won't duplicate the last position? they always duplicate in place.
How do you get False Prospective? I only have prospective
I think it's the same thing. Sounds like they just changed the name of it in the recent update.
As of today i have abandoned all adobe softwares, time to get leaning affinity
COULD IT BE POSSIBLE TO WRITE A STEP BY STEP METHOD FOR THI VIDEO ? THE MAC SCREEN IS HARD TO SEE THE SMALL ARROW AND TOOLS. IF AFFINITY COULD MAGNIFY THE POINTER WHEN ITS OVER THE TOOLS I COULD SEE IT. I CAN'T GET THE CONVERT TO CURVE STEP. SORRY, THANKS
maybe try asking without using caps :)
My designs disappear when I pull them off the page. Can you tell me why?
Great tutorial, but I can't believe that Affinity designer don't have a blend tool. I mean, Corel Draw had one in 1997!
Is for this tutorial!
17 dollars? I just went to the website and it says 69.99 I didn't see an option for 17 any help be much appreciated
Are you sure you’re on the right page? I don’t sell anything for $69.99
CorelDraw Tutorial Bro!!
Yeah, if you want to crash 13 times while trying to get through it. LOL But yeah, Coreldraw has the block shadow tool that is made for this specific look. Otherwise, Coreldraw is the most unstable and poor quality software I've used in my whole career. I started with Coreldraw in 1993. Its STILL a joke. My main software since around 2000 has been Illustrator, but Illustrator has some areas where it needs more development. So I bought a copy of Coreldraw Home & Student Edition. I began to use it. First 30 minutes, crash. Predictably. Expectedly. Next time I open it, crash again. I began to set up all my old keyboard shortcuts that I used from before in Coreldraw. This one shortcut I had which allows me to increase the size of text. I used it for years in Coreldraw. I set it up. It worked. No problem there. I come back to the software the next day. I use the shortcut. The software freezes, then disappears off the screen. Crash! I also had subscribed to the latest Coreldraw before that. I had it for 2 days and it crashed twice in the 1 hour that I merely messed around with it. I cancelled my subscription on it and I officially give up on Corel for life. They are never going to change. But, I figured even with the relentless crashing, I still could get some use out of it for the 1 time price I paid for it.
First to say 🥇
I think you meant to say "any san serif face font".
0:51 Sans-Serif? 🤔
how do i get affinity designer 2.0? it says 1.5 is the latest version on my updates and the tutorial wont work for me with that version thanks
That's weird, perspective is curving M and N in very unnatural ugly way, which is not usable at all. Then ungrouping is literally deleting the effects (arc/perspective). The contour tool is doing blank opened spots, above the letters, can't make a proper outline with it, because they're open above. Literally was trying to do it 3 times, and every time the same happens.
'i suggest using any serif based font' .....immediately selects a sans serif font 😃
there is a better way and quicker
Too much complicated this effect is too much easy in corel draw
How much for Corel draw?
You change the text to curves but after bending it you change it to curves again, why is that? I thought once it was curves that was it.
That’s for rendering your new shape
Thank you!
Too much complicated this effect is too much easy in corel draw
It looks like crap on Corel draw
@@juzeljames7793 No, it looks precisely the same on Coreldraw. I just did it on my copy of Coreldraw Home and Student Edition. Looks perfectly the same. But of course Coreldraw is a crash fest so I don't recommend this mess for anybody who's job doesn't absolutely depend on it. I make a living as a graphic artist so its worth it for me to buy the non-subscription version just for a couple of good features. Otherwise, you couldn't give me this mess. Its the worst software I've ever installed on a PC during the past almost 30 years.
@@KuttyJoe maybe it was just my experience with the program..i agree with you I don’t want to pay no subscription that’s why I use affinity photo and designer
@@juzeljames7793 That's great. Do you make a living with it? I think that people who make their living purely as creatives have a much bigger range of quality options. The production stuff though is where software like Adobe and Coreldraw come into play. Some work is really in Corel's wheelhouse, as opposed to Adobe so I feel kind of sorry for the people who have to suffer through that software day in and out.
@@KuttyJoe no just my hobby. I used to have Abode products but everything is pay to rent. Not my cup of tea
