How to Outline in Procreate & Affinity Designer for Text Maps Stickers Bookmarks. Differences

Making an outline is crucial if you want to create a beautiful Fantasy Map with location names, stickers or bookmarks for Cricut or Silhouette machines or just want to make an element pop! Both Procreate and Affinity Designer have the functionality to add them in very different ways. I am showing you how to utilise this functionality in the best way without erasing your work or adding extra hours to your finished project. Plus you can combine both programs for the best performance for a very low cost!
This video might be considered biased towards Affinity Designer but whoever tried to create text in Procreate knows, that the functionality offered by the software leaves a lot to desire. The basic functionality can put names on your map, but with Affinity up your sleeve you will not only be able to create dynamic outlines in seconds but also curve the text, adjust the finished project and change colours based on your daily mood! 😉

Fantasy Cartography has been my passion for some time now. And I've created quite a few worlds by now. There's just something magical when you can open a Fantasy book and see a map of a completely new world. Book Maps should be a must thing for authors to implement. And I know some stories are not really in need of a map, but when you see someone else's imagination come to life, and be a part of this creation, it's something magical. Fantasy maps not only help you follow your character's journey but allow the readers to fully immerse themselves in the world created.
Let's not allow only DND and RPG players to enjoy the beautiful designs and multitude of choices! Fantasy Maps and Map generators are not only for games, they're also a part of storytelling.
Writers, authors, and dungeon masters, all know the importance of a well-crafted Fantasy Map. And Fantasy Map artists and Fantasy Cartographers know how to elevate their work so it looks unique, and beautiful and represents the original thought of the creator.
