Andrejbeckin Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Hello, I would like to know how to design a iconic mug in affinity designer, because I don´t get it. Background Story: I want to print an existing Logo (svg) on a iconic mug. The logo should fit in this form. Thank you for you help, Andrej Vorlage Latte-12-DG.svg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarryP Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Welcome to the forums @Andrejbeckin Can you give us more information about what what you have and what you are trying to do with it? I don’t understand the term “iconic mug” – can you explain what that is or how an “iconic” mug would differ from a ‘normal’ mug? Which Affinity applications do you have access to – is it only Designer or do you also have Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrejbeckin Posted December 4, 2021 Author Share Posted December 4, 2021 Hello and thank you for your response. I have attached a template as an svg in my first post. A rectangular logo (svg file) must be bent into the template for printing. I would like to know how to do this in Affinity designer. I only have Affinity Designer, but if I only can do it in Affinity photo I would buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GarryP Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Thanks for the extra information – although I’m still not sure what an “iconic mug” is. Unless your rectangular logo is very simplistic you probably can’t do what you want to do in Designer alone due to the lack of ‘bending’ functionality. You should be able to do what you want with Photo but the result will be rasterised. (You can try a trial version of Photo to see if it does what you want before purchasing the software.) There are plenty of vector warping applications which can probably do what you want and you can do a search in these forums for “vector warp” (without the quotes) to find more information.

firstdefence Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Affinity has no warp/envelope feature at present, so, you would need to use a third party app to get the warp.

v_kyr Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Well as the preposters already said, there is sadly no functionality yet build into Affinity Designer for plain vector based perspective warping, free form distortions, and the like. You would have to do that bend task with another app which supports these things and then take the result over into AD. - There are some third party apps ... Inkscape (free) VectorStyler Amadine Photopea (online) ... etc. ... which do support to warp/distort vectors. In case of an bitmap/raster image (thus pixels) you can try the Affinity Photo (Perspektive, Gitterverzerrung) tools or the "Live-Projektion" filter and take the result over into Designer then. So you can do such things there with bitmap images at least ...

I'm just a little confused about the shape of the template/form - this shape is used more for bottle labels. No deformation is required for a classic oval mug.
