Gareth Humphreys Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 hi there, probably a dead simple one this, but for the life of me i can't seem to figure it out, how do i make text follow a curve? Quote
Staff stokerg Posted December 17, 2018 Staff Posted December 17, 2018 Hi Gareth, If you see this tutorial: https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/designer/ipad/video/273647336/ It covers text on a path which is only an option in Affinity Designer and not Photo. Gareth Humphreys 1 Quote
Gareth Humphreys Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 excellent, thanks for you help. Luckily i already have designer! Quote
Gareth Humphreys Posted January 2, 2019 Author Posted January 2, 2019 Update: try as i might, i cannot get this to work i draw an ellipse, select the Artistic text tool, press inside the ellipse as per the tutorial, but it just creates another layer with the text on, and not following the curve. i must be doing something weird.

toltec Posted January 2, 2019 Posted January 2, 2019 Hi @Gareth Humphreys Make sure the ellipse is still selected, select the Artistic Text Tool and tap on the path of the ellipse, not inside. i.e. where the green starting triangle is showing below. You can swipe upwards to set the size of the text. Gareth Humphreys 1 Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

Mary Andrenacci Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 Hi everyone, I can make curved tex but: When I do it with a circle path and the text is on the bottom of the path it is "up side down" instead I would like to have the text readable just like the up one, like in this pic. It would be possible?😅 Thank you anyway Mary Quote
Alfred Posted November 24, 2021 Posted November 24, 2021 44 minutes ago, Mary Andrenacci said: When I do it with a circle path and the text is on the bottom of the path it is "up side down" If you tap on the edge of the circle and start typing, the text will go clockwise (so any text at the bottom of the circle will be upside down). Type the top text, press the ‘Return’ key and type the bottom text to get something like this: Drag the green triangle at the beginning of the bottom piece of text to move it to the bottom of the circle: If you want the bottom text to be outside the circle, highlight it and choose ‘Character > Positioning’ in the Text Studio, and then enter a negative Baseline value: Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
Mary Andrenacci Posted November 25, 2021 Posted November 25, 2021 Oh mammamia Alfred!! This is a very well described process!! Thank you so much for your dedication in answering. Love this forum and love Affinity suite even though I am a total beginner 😅 Have a good day! Ciao Mary Quote
