All Media Lab Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 In Affinity Designer Hi, How do you select a part of some fonts to change the color? For example I have the word "WATER" and want half of it horizontally at the bottom white and at the top blue. Thanks! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 You can create a shape and place that shape as a child to the font, or you can use the Fill Tool to use a Bitmap image of water as the fill.

GarryP Posted July 4, 2018 Share Posted July 4, 2018 A simple vertical gradient fill on the text hasn't been mentioned yet. Just another way of doing it (depending on exactly what effect you want). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
