People_Word Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 I'm new to affinity after using adobe for years, so am still trying to find my way around. I am trying to recreate the look of the attached text. In adobe I'd imagine it would be possible with a mix of blur and dissolve, but I'm struggling to do it on Affinity. I've tried combinations of blurs, shadows, displace etc but nothing works quite right. Does anyone have any tips or tutorials? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v_kyr Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Welcome! First I would look after some possible available halftone & extruded fonts, so if there maybe is already something similar to reuse here right out of the box. Though there are a lot of such different fonts on the net, where some may work others not and so it would be a matter of finding the right fitting one here. - Aka maybe something similar like ... Leave no fingerprints ... etc. Other than that you have to look after some web tutorial for PS to adapt to APh on how to create such text effect and get close to it ... How to Create Blur Halftone Text Effect (Photoshop Tutorial) How to Create Dotted Text Effect (Affinity Photo Tutorial) ... etc. People_Word 1 Quote ☛ Affinity Designer 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Photo 1.10.8 ◆ Affinity Publisher 1.10.8 ◆ OSX El Capitan ☛ Affinity V2.3 apps ◆ MacOS Sonoma 14.2 ◆ iPad OS 17.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomaso Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Hi @People_Word, Welcome to the Affinity Forums! One way would just paint the rastered blur with a brush that has such a dotty grid as texture assigned. Attached a version that tries it fully non-destructive (editable): v1105 blur raster.afpub Return, People_Word and Hilltop 1 2 Quote macOS 10.14.6 | MacBookPro Retina 15" | Eizo 27" | Affinity V1 only Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
People_Word Posted July 25, 2023 Author Share Posted July 25, 2023 Wow, thank you so much @v_kyr and @thomaso both of your replies have been incredibly helpful! Those tutorials have helped clarify some of the issues I was having with using the halftone filter, and that file you posted @thomaso feels like the ultimate cheat code! Thank you!!
