What I really love about your tutorials (apart from the excellent presentation technique) is that for busy designers like myself you sometimes are so busy working on someone’s artwork that you leave yourself no time for experimenting with what each button and variable can do and therefore miss a lot of the potential of the software. This is the case with this tutorial. You have shown me enough new surprises that have given me some new ideas! Thank you so much!
Thank you, John. TO be honest, i learn a lot through my own tutorials too. Some tools i have used for years and never known they can do that. To be honest, for the past years i always added the 2 in m2 with a little extra text ;)
Thank you. I recently purchased this program and this video was very helpful.
Love your videos so thank you so much. I play a lot with character so new a lot about this except changing to Caps and making it smaller and all the stuff you pointed out at the bottom. Thank you for that. Now off to part 2 ty
Thank you, Diane. Fonts are hard to use, you i am happy i could help.
This is the first of your tutorials that I've viewed. It was a real motivator. I probably wouldn't have dove into the nitty-gritty of font manipulation had I not come across your tutorial. I look forward to viewing more. Thank you.
Thank you, Brian and welcome to my channel :)
Fantastic! Much gratitude.
Excellent Olivio. Thank you again.

Yet another very informative and useful tutorial. Keep up the good work Olivio. 👍
Thank you, David
This was AWESOME!!! Thank You! =D
Super! Really great and detailed tutorial. 👍
Happy you like it, Felix
Great stuff, subscribed. Thank you
Thank you and welcome 🙂👍
Great video Olivio. It's specific and useful. My understanding of fonts is complete. I'm a font fanatic. Kudos.
Thank you very much :)
Sehr interessantes Video, da ich mir vor ein paar Tagen gerade Fonts aus dem Internet runtergeladen habe und mit dem Schriftzug nicht so zufrieden war. Dank Deines Videos kann ich jetzt perfekt daran arbeiten.
Danke, Sabine. Freut mich sehr das ich dir helfen konnte. SChön mal wieder von dir zu hören :)
Thank you! This information was very useful to me as I'm new to the Affinity products.
Glad it was helpful :)
Very well explained and useful.
Thank you, David
Mixing up „font“ (Schriftart) and „letter“ (Buchstabe) in some cases makes it hard to follow sometimes. Never the less very useful information. I enjoy every single tutorial. Especially your viewpoint as a designer leads to knowledge, that we wouldn‘t get otherwise. Thank you so much!
Thank you, Freund. English is not my first language so i guess i messed up at some points. ;)
@@OlivioSarikas Your English is great, and I love the accent:)
1:50 Favourit Tipp! x3 Thank you!
Hi! Do you know if Serif had added the Vertical writing (vertical text position) as in Photoshop?
Really useful video, Olivio, and explained in a simple yet concise manner.
I'm looking forward to Part 2 of this subject, as it has knock on effects for the other programs in the Affinity suite (Designer and Publisher)
Glad it was helpful! Here is part 2 th-cam.com/video/i1Ko-x7IRLs/w-d-xo.html
@@OlivioSarikas Watched Parts 2 and 3 just now - great stuff.
I Like Your Presentation, Olivio. Thank You.
I am an amateur with Affinity - I only use it because I HAVE to (to do layouts for church music ministry).
I am having a MAJOR problem just trying to find out how to get my font/text to follow a curve (specifically to follow the circular path of the top/bottom of a CD/DVD layout).
If you have the time... maybe you could share the knowledge herein reply for anyone else having the same issue.
Regardless... thank you for all your help in these videos!
When they are all large caps how do you change them to small caps with the first letter only being the large one? Thank you.
Hi Olivio, thank you very much for an excellent video. I am using a Font called Moonbeam but it is a bit weak. In the character box, where you showed options for the font made by the designer, it doesn't give me any options, like for instance bold. Any suggestions as to what I could do?
Hi, smovey10, that font doesn't seem to have any Bold option. But you could try to go to Layer Effects and us "Outline" to make it fatter. Click on the little cog wheel icon next to the Outline Layer Effect and in the new window choose "Outside" or "Center" as the alignment options. See if that helps and if the result looks good enough for your use. Make sure you also click the "Scale with Object" Option on the lower left of that Outline Settings Window
Thanks for this Olivio. I was working with this today.
Just a small English tip - LEADING is pronounced "ledding".
The term comes from the days of hot-metal typesetting when thin strips of lead, known as reglets, were inserted by hand between the lines of type to add vertical space. That description is from adobe site. :)
Thank you, Pete i didn't know that. not sure i will remember that pronunciation, but that historical bit sure helps :)
I see there is a up and down button for every font option EXCEPT font size. Photoshop had both + and - buttons as well as a place to drag your mouse to change the size. Is there something like this in Affinity? I can't find it and it's annoying to type in every size I want to try.
Once again, thanks for your tutorial. I clicked all those buttons, but some of them didn't seem to have any effect, like kerning and tracking. Now I know how they work. Yah!
Thank you, Vox. Cool glasses btw :)
You really motivate me to try Affinity with your tutorials. But what about text efect like shadows, glow, gradient colors, patterns etc.? Is that possible here - something like layer style in Photoshop?
Hi Best, thank you. Those can be found under "layer effects" which is the little tab next right to the layers tab on the right lower side of your screen
Thank you so much. Finally these evil cursive fonts will see who's boss.
OMG THANK YOU SO MUCHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
You are welcome, soum :)
3:12 this is a very useful function .... others don't have it
Question.. so I expand the stroke but when I go to add it all together the font looks like crap. Any idea how to adjust this issue?
Hi Abraham, without seeing what you did i can't really help you with that.
How to make text with curved shapes, as in banners? Of course you can use the liquify tool and do it by hand, but is there a better way? If you type text with the "artistic text" tool, there is even a function called, "convert to curves," but it doesn't seem to do the trick.
Hi Jeremy, check out this tutorial to see how i spice up fonts. hope that help th-cam.com/video/-WUAzkbsVjQ/w-d-xo.html
Hi Olivio, could you make POP-OUT PHOTO using Affinity Photo. Some vlogger using Ipa, just don't make sense and confusing. Thanks..
Hi Michael, yes you can do that. It basically works like in photoshop. I will create a tutorial for it somewhere in the next weeks though
Is there a way to download other fonts into Designer? There is a font in Word that I would love to use in Designer but it isn't available. I tried tracing over it with a picture of the text but it seemed too time consuming and my skill level is not quite up to par lol. Any help would be appreciated. The font is Edwardian Script btw....
Hi, sims19931, try this to find a similar font or the same: www.myfonts.com/WhatTheFont/
www.whatfontis.com/ITC-Edwardian-Script-Pro-Regular.similar
Wow, I never knew you can do all that with text.
You are welcome, johnlochness. Part 2 is coming soon with even more tricks :)
How to find neon front in affinity photo, I didn’t find
Hi Jaano, i have linked the font pages in the video info. you can look for the font of your liking there :)
Love all of your videos. One comment is that your accent sometimes confuses thing. Example is with Leading. Your pronunciation sounds like (leeding) as in leading someone by the hand. When in fact it should be (ledding) as in the metal element, lead. This comes from the days when type was set with lead and when you wanted to add space between the lines, you would add lead. I know this because I am that old and I used to set type with lead.
