Preset for cartoon conversation windows?


Recommended Posts

Hi. Fairly new to Affinity Design & it seems I have seen a preset tool for cartoon conversations clouds. I made & attached a quick illustration, trying to explain further. They are easy enough to make but I'm seeking a more professional look.

Any ideas?

There is a Callout Ellipse Tool and a Callout Rounded Rectangle Tool, but no Callout Cloud Tool. However, it shouldn't be difficult to make an appropriate shape with the Cloud Tool, convert it to curves and then add a suitable pointy bit. :)

That's perfect. I knew I'd seen it somewhere. Thank you so much!

:D

Once you get a few shapes you like, you can add them to the Assets panel, like in a "Clouds" category you create, so you don't have to keep making them again for each new project.
