Affinity Designer Tutorial - How to create a broken text effect.

[@meishamariepaul3518]

Maybe the real friends I made along the way were these keyboard shortcuts. Thanks for this tutorial! Really clear and concise, exactly what I was looking for! ETA: I've been really enjoying using Affinity Designer, and I'm really grateful you've taken your time to create these videos.

"But to drag the mother of it" at 3:31 XD. I love it. Your narration of your videos is so authentic and soothing to watch. Thank you for this tutorial!

[@isabel_aracama]

:) Thanks Sebastian. Never thought of it but good to know the tuts can be also soothing. I love that fact. Send you a kiss!

[@literaturix]

Isabel, you are very, very special. And so is this video. Bruuuhaa. Love it!!

[@isabel_aracama]

So are you Literaturix K. ;) Kiss and have a very happy new year!

This is where Illustrator beats Designer hands down. This is just so easy to do in Illustrator. Thanks anyway...

[@the-andre]

I find your tutorials to be superior! My illustrations use a thick/thin element that was difficult to control in Adobe Illustrator. This is extremely invaluable to me. I ha e to listen more carefully because of your accent, but that is fine. Thank you for doing a marvelous job! Affinity Designer is great people!

[@isabel_aracama]

Thanks Andre for your comment. It's great to know it helped you. If in doubt just ask me here. There's also less accent when I write hahaha ;)

[@eyedoubleyou]

Brilliant, thanks for this. Will be trying this out and give some feedback.

[@BerndWolter]

Thank you so much for your great tutorials!

Great video! Thank you for sharing!📚

[@funnyg460]

As always another great video! I love this effect, on your first one did you do it one long word? Cause you have the crack going through both BRO and KEN. I have tried but don't know how you made the crack through both BRO and KEN please help.

[@isabel_aracama]

Thanks Diane! - The procedure is exactly the same. Look at this, maybe you see it clearer: imgur.com/a/f0EmHf3

[@TheDAZ1001]

Thank you for this! beautiful design's!

[@isabel_aracama]

Thanks to you Daz for commenting :)

[@TedMattos]

Thanks for this, Isabel! :) Question - with your example (the one on the right), I saw that you had a crack leading from top piece down through the second piece (to form a bit of a triangle). Is that hard to do?

[@TedMattos]

Ah! I see you answer the question in an earlier comment. :) Never mind! LOL

[@isabel_aracama]

Hi Ted. No, not at all. It's all about using paths and masking and separating the bits of the text so I can move things as I need to. Think of it as 3 pieces of the text that I put then together.

[@isabel_aracama]

In this tutorial I show you how to create a simple broken text effect in Affinity Designer using clipping masks.

[@TheOverlordOfProcrastination]

Thanks as always.

[@MsPennyDrop]

Lovely tutorial Isabel - thank you. I would have preferred it without the distracting music though ;)

[@isabel_aracama]

Thanks! Thought it was low enough as not to be so distracting... next time birds ha!

[@MsPennyDrop]

@@isabel_aracama I have super sensitive hearing. You have such lovely voice though isabel.

[@isabel_aracama]

Oh, thanks MsPennyDrop - I always think it sounds terrible when I hear myself. But they say it happens to us all.

[@MsPennyDrop]

my partner has a thing about your voice ;) Thinks it's gorgeous, so don't worry @@isabel_aracama
