How do i create this effect?

[Gridlock]

How do i create this kind of effect inside the letters?
I know how to create dots but i can´t seem to create the same effects as shown in the picture.
Where the dots are small on the top and big in the bottom.

So how do i create it?

It should be said i am very much a noob when it comes to Affinity Photo so as detailed of an explanation as possible would be great.

Hi @Gridlock,
Welcome to the Affinity Forums!

A "fill" can get set in quite a few ways, for instance as image (nested as child layer) or as bitmap fill (with Gradient Fill Tool) or as a filter … see the attached Affinity (V1) document for closer inspection.

v1105 some text fill options.afpub

I have the comicbook toolkit you wouldn´t happen to have a youtube video or another step by step tutorial on how to do it?

Hi

It is really quite simple. There is a file attached in the resources bit (2 eyes) that is just an experiment on how to use the dots!

So

Simplest way
1. Create an object (vector) can be drawn with pen | Pencil | Shape Tool | Text converted to outlines
2. Select the shape you wish to fill
3. Go to assets panel and drag one of the patterns onto the 'Fill Swatch' on the context bar or onto the 'fill circle' underneath the tools
4. Select your Fill Tool (G) to activate scale and rotate
5. The patterns are red initially but you can change that
a. Simply apply FX to object or Adjustment to layers
b. Drag out the pattern | recolour and drag back onto the asset panel. Then use as above

The patterns can I believe be stacked together to form larger shapes!

Text
For Text
1. Type what you need 

a. Either convert to curves and follow procedure above
or
a. Create additional rectangle (drag pattern onto fill swatch again | adjust with fill tool!)
b. Drag the whole object inside the text layer

I did a video testing out the new features in 2.1

at about the 1 minute mark the asset dragging using these patterns is displayed

Ok this should help you!

Notes

1. you can change the pattern just by keeping the object selected and replacing the asset
2. Change colour using FX or adjustment layers
3. Use the style picker to copy fills between objects
4. Add the fill to the swatch palette
5. Rescale and rotate by re-selection
6. It can be very powerful used in conjunction with the Vector Flood Fill Tool UT tutorial here
