In this tutorial, I'll show you how to make curved text in Affinity Designer. To do this, we will use the new "vector warp tools" that come in Affinity Designer Version 2.

I love the new Warp Tools in Affinity Designer! Personally, I think these tools are one of the best updates in Affinity Version 2. 🙂

this is my very first affinity tutorial and I have no experience at all in design. I made something ( not so pretty) and I am so happy. Thank you <3

Love your tutorials! Currently enjoying your courses and learning a lot. Great presentation and explanation. Thank you.

Thank you…thank you. I’ve always wanted to know how to do this. Love your tutorials. My best to you and Ezra.

AWESOME. I have searched for days to find something like this and all results before finding this one were for Procreate. I figured there had to be a way to do it in Affinity. Thanks so much for sharing!

Very cool. I didn't know we could add nodes to the warp. This will be helpful. I've already used the warp feature for work, and it was a hit. I actually made waving text in an animated GIF. So simple, but it melted a few peoples' minds. LOL! Thanks for another great tutorial. All the best to you all!

I really appreciate your style of teaching and am currently taking your course. I wish you would write a how to manual for Affinity Designer. Thanks again for all that you do!

So it's not as hard as I thought! Thanks for demystifying this Ally 👍🏻😀

[danielaruppel]

Great tutorial, Ally! Thank you very much! 🥰

Thank you so much! You make understanding and using affinity so much easier!

Thanks Ally! This mesh warp tool is more flexible than that in Aff. Photo 1.

Fantastic video, it helped me to finish my logo. Thank you very much :)

I shouted, "No! Don't squish! No squishy font!" But, then I kept watching and saw what, why, when, and how you did what you did. Great job! Thank you! Big help!

[ChrisB]

Very opportune Ally, and most useful, thank you.

Outstanding tutorial. I love your approach and explanation style. #AffinityDesigner4Life

Great tutorials as always. Is there a way to move each point, adjusting text like you did in 3:59 using Affinity Photo? I want to put text into a shape (not framing). or is this feature only available on Designer?

[loudabarca]

Thanks actually, I like your tutorial

[elizabethrussell]

Thank you, good video. Can I do this in Affinity Photo?

I like very much your tutorials, they are really clear, helpful and well spoken (it's my obsession). I am practicing with your video How to Make Curved Text, and I wonder what version of Designer are you using? Or what OS, I'm using Win 11 and your interface has more tools on the left toolbar, and most of all my interface has no Warp tool on the right Layers panel. I tried every kind of configuration, but no result. Can you hel me?
Thanks a lot, and keep "tutorializing"

WOW... another fantastic tutorial... you're a reference I come back to each time I need something.
I still can't figure out how I can create “my own handwriting“ and add it to an image... If you have any idea, it would be very welcome (it's for creating greeting cards, for example, that look like they've been hand written... so no two same letters will be exactly the same as with calligraphy fonts)
