How to make vertically aligned text on a path (split)


Recommended Posts

I've just updated to 2.4 on Designer. The email announcing the update showed a graphic demonstrating the new double click/tap feature with a Three Mountains logo. The text in the logo followed a path but also remained vertically aligned. I'd be grateful if anyone could point me to a tutorial that would help in that regard. Thank you.

In the logo for “The Three Mountains Club House” here https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/whats-new/ there are various things which look like text and various things will have been done to them. (The email I got didn’t have any videos in it so I don’t know if we are looking at the same thing.)

Can you tell us which bit(s) of the logo you want to try to replicate?

Are you referring to the text having been warped to match the curvature of the brown S shape? :/

Apparently this text got converted to curves and reshaped with the Vector Warp Tool:

Thanks Thomaso,

i’d worked out ‘convert to curves’ had been used on the text and you adding Victor Warp Tool provides the answer I’m looking for. From previous reading I’d understood the text following a path wouldn’t remain vertical as it followed a contour. The Three Mountains text does and I want to be able to replicate that appearance in my work. Now I understand how it’s done!
