reinforcethefrail Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Greetings, I have no experience with graphic design, but I am interested in creating simple designs using stock images and incorporating text. In an attempt to narrow the information I have to consume to do this, I wish to find instruction on how to import stock images into affinity and place text onto and around these images. Also, how would I get the final product into vector format? I'm sure my questions are very elementary to most users, but I have never worked with any design software and would like to dabble in some simple designs and be able to see my creations on tangible products. Thank you so much for any support you can give. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted April 23, 2017 Staff Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hi Reinforcethefrail, Welcome to the Forums :) Affinity Designer can export to the vector formats EPS and SVG. You can use the Text Tools to add to text to your stock images but you may need to trace them by hand if they aren't already in a vector format. You can see a tutorial explaining tracing in Designer below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=91mnE8fLDJg Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.
