ivanozzo Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Hi and good evening, Anyone knows how to reproduce the concentric shoreline effect in affinity designer? https://petrichor.studio/2018/01/02/6-really-3-steps-to-create-an-antique-looking-concentric-shoreline-effect-in-adobe-illustrator/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdenby Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Pretty much exactly the same way. Start w. the shoreline line. Duplicate, and make the stroke bigger. Repeat as you like. Expand. Make fill none, and stroke minimal. Break the curves' end nodes, deleted the inland parts. Kinda tedious, but nothin' hard. ivanozzo and Callum 2 Quote iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gdenby Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Hi again, ivanozzo, Glad its working for you. This topic has come up a few times. Your post got me going, and I've just blown several hours over the last few days doing the same on an imaginary place map. I can see why there are people who work on story book antique looking maps. ivanozzo 1 Quote iMac 27" Retina, c. 2015: OS X 10.11.5: 3.3 GHz I c-5: 32 Gb, AMD Radeon R9 M290 2048 Mb iPad 12.9" Retina, iOS 10, 512 Gb, Apple pencil Huion WH1409 tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanozzo Posted June 15, 2019 Author Share Posted June 15, 2019 Update: Spacing waterlines (credits: John Nelson - https://www.esri.com/arcgis-blog/products/analytics/analytics/water-lines-they-need-some-space/ ). Take a look at John's spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1jeexb_WT3Q0S_upAPInUzO6VlEOcpZo3BHRkpXv-_YY/htmlview Ex: spacing lines of 130% 1° line: 5pt 2° line: 5pt + (5pt * 130%) = 11.5 pt 3° line: 5pt + (11.5pt * 130%) = 19.95 pt ... ... And so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
