Mr Lucky Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 I need to distort some text in Affinity Designer. Can someone please tell me how? (I'm sure it's very simple and I'm missing something) The exact thing I'm after is to make a four letter logo in a rectangle fit into a triangle, so just the top of the text block needs reducing Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One often requested feature for AD is a mesh warp tool. In this case, the text would be converted to curves, and placed within the mesh, which is typically a grid of 3 or more rows and columns. Just the intersections of those need to be moved and all the object nodes within the mesh are re-positioned proportionately to the changes of the enclosing mesh. I've tried doing this manually, and w. simple non-serif fonts, it is just tedious, but do-able.

Busenitz Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 Hopefully when we get this, we do not have to convert to curves, but will be able to allow the font intact. This is one feature that I really, really miss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
