Sheriff95 Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hello. Is it possible to use an effect in the designer program to "distort/reflect" the letters as shown in the image attached? Or do I have to do it all by hand? I'm talking about the letters "G" and "Z". Do you have to find a suitable font for this or should you somehow try to do it yourself in a thicker version with lines? But I don't know if it would even look good with those two letters. I would like to understand the process behind this if someone could explain. Thanks !

NotMyFault Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hi, you can use the mesh warp filter (or two of them) to create the effect. Technically the live perspective filter would be best, but it will lead to rasterized export. It can be faster/easier to create those letter manually using the pen tool instead of looking for a suitable font.

Do you have to find a suitable font for this or should you somehow try to do it yourself in a thicker version with lines? I don't see any G|Z, however there are many ways to do that, as reusing some fitting font or redrawing/tracing that manually yourself. Another way is autotracing the whole with some good tracing/vectorization tool, which will give you some curves for that then, which you can alter/modify if needed afterwards ... hexagon_cc.afdesign Sheriff95 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...
