Hola, alguien sabria decirme como puede hacerse con affinity designer, lo que con illustrator seria: efecto / trazado / desplazamiento?

Esto lo necesito para crear mascaras en vinilo de corte, las cuales usan para poder poner letra corporea y que asi les quede recto.

Muchas gracias

Saludos, 

Espero no sea tarde, pero yo lo que hago es lo siguiente: 

Luego de tener la forma o el texto convertido en curva, lo copio y pego. A esta copia le quito el relleno y le coloco el color al trazo que quiero, aumento el trazo al tamaño que me parezca correcto, luego le doy a expandir trazo (capa -> Expandir trazo) y listo tengo el contorno o desplazamiento. Es lo mas parecido que he encontrado al trazado/desplazamiento de Illustrator. Se que en YT hay un video que lo explican pero no logro encontrar el link. 

Actualizacion: Aqui esta el link del video que hable. Esta en ingles, espero te sirva. Saludos

Espero haberte ayudado,

Saludos!

You can try this...
 

Reset To Factory defaults

 

Launch the app with ⌃(ctrl) held down until a Clear User Data dialog appears. Press the Select All button then press the Clear button.

Note this will reset everything to app defaults - user preferences, palettes, macros, everything. If you want to reset just the UI and user prefs leave just the first three checkboxes ticked and press the Clear button.

Thank you very much!! This worked! Thank you very much

Have you used a second monitor with your Mac in the past & in Separated mode placed the toolbars on that monitor? If so, it may be that they are still there even when that second monitor no longer is actually connected. To test/fix this, try connecting a second monitor again & if the toolbars appear on it, drag them back onto the Mac's screen. Then disconnect the second monitor & the toolbars should still be on the Mac's screen.

thank you very much for your answer! I don't use a second monitor.

Hi baal_uriel

Sorry to see you're having trouble! Could you please go to Window>Separated Mode and untick this option for me. Does this now show your Context Toolbar and top Toolbar?

Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for your answer Dan. This worked! But I use the separeted mode and the bars were there

[Official Affinity Designer V1 (Desktop) Tutorials]

Hi there guys!! By any chance do you know any Spanish tutorials? Although i am very good in English, there are some terms that I don't recognize.

 

Thank you very much!!

[School Books Labels]

Its just for a kid, its a way to personalize his o her books, notebooks, etc. Its very very common down here. In fact it's one of the most common requests for a Graphic Designer down here.

These are really fun! So amazing that a client actually commissioned an illustrator for doing custom schoolbook labels for their kids! 

Thanks for your comment! Here in Venezuela is very common for an illustrator to do this type of work, in fact, my wife is the one that does this type of work, but she is so full of work, that I had to help her with this two.

[How to...?]

It isn't completely clear what you want to do but for example, if you have a bunch of jpeg or other raster image files of cupcakes, you could use the Place menu command or tool in Affinity Designer to place each one on a document at whatever size & location you want.

Thank you!!

[How to...?]

Hi there Guys!!

I don't know if this is the correct forum, but I need to do something like the image attached, first: is it possible to do it in AD? If so, how can I do it? Any of you knows a tutorial? In my little experience as a designer, I think it has to be vectorized, then do a cliping or masking with texture... am I going in the right path? 

I would much appreciate any help, comments or suggestion as how to do it.

Thank you so much!

Regards,

Good work!  I usually cheat by using Inkscape to do the bitmap-to-vector conversion (something I hope future versions of Affinity Designer will add)... I've only tried to re-draw one from scratch by hand, so I give props to you.    I know nothing of Pikachu, so I can't comment on the accuracy, but I like how your design looks.

Thank you very much!!

Nice!! Looking good - I think this will be a big hit for your son's birthday.

I really like the shadow detailing on the hat, and overall. Really good job here :).

Thank you for your comment!

[New Pikachu artwork]

Hi there guys! 

My son wanted a cake-topper and his birthday decoration of Pikachu (he just saw Detective Pikachu Movie) so, I tried my best, I found an image in google, I started working on it. Here is the final result. 

I will appreciate any recommendation or suggestion.

Thank you so much!

Looks nice but I think you've made it a bit too dark in some places. For example, the middle "e" is hardly visible.
Also, some highlights - similar to those on the "Stranger Things" logotype - might look good too. I realise you're probably not trying to copy it but the dark and light parts go together to make the whole thing more complete.
No big issues, I just think a few tweaks here and there will make a big difference.

Thank you very much for your comment!!! Yes the "e" is very dark...  big mistake. But thank you once again!

I did this for a facebook fan page of a chat room. I was finishing the second season of Strangers Things, you guys may found some likeness. 

 

Im open to your recommendations to improve my works.

Be nice please.

[Web Design]

Websites consist of HTML for the structure/markup, CSS for the look/style, and possibly JavaScript for some dynamic functionality. What you do in your graphic design application is create a visual guideline so you know what the site is going to look like while you are working on the code in your preferred code editor. Except from exporting a few images for use on the website, AD has not much to do with getting a website online and functional. If you have no idea about coding whatsoever, and aren’t willing to learn it, it might be better if you hire someone who does. While there are applications that can output code out of graphic designs I wouldn’t recommend them for production sites. Any application is just a tool, and a tool can only be as good or useful as the person using it. And no tool can currently replace a real web developer (yet).

Thank you very much Stephan!! Will learn to program and code ;) 

[Web Design]

Hi there friends, 

 

As a couple of you may know Im new to all this world of design and illustration. I´ve been using AD since I started, only use Illustrator for a couple of things that are not available (yet) in AD. I´ve been looking for this on the web, maybe I haven´t look for it well, but what better place to ask than in Affinity forums. The things is I have a web design. All my pages, or my one page web site. How do I put it on the web to work properly? I don´t know how to do it, can someone please help me.

 

Thanks in advance. 

 

[Mesh Tool]

Thanks Paolo!!! The workbook is on its to my house, I order it a couple of days ago. and I will follow Sir Jonathan.

[Mesh Tool]

Dear Friends and Community, 

 

I´m doing an Illustrator course (never had a course for design in my life) and there is this tool, mesh tool,is there a similar tool in AD? or something to get the same "effect" or the same "finish" people say that with gradient, but it is not the same.

 

Thanks for your support,

Regards,
