How to Put Vector Graphics Inside Text in Affinity Designer
When you've created text for your design it's easy enough to add a normal film or a fountain fill or even a bitmap image. What about if you want to have a background using vector graphics. This would be important if you plan to change the size of your text and you need the resolution of the image behind to stay the same.
In this video I show you how to add a vector background to your text. I show three ways of doing it. The first way is a simple mask so whatever is behind a cookie-cutter text will show through. This way is okay but you can't add any effects on top.
By using a command in the layers studio you can mask to below. I found this worked out pretty good and you can still add effects on top like 3D, inner and outer shadows and so on.
You'll see in the video that with one of the ways of doing this if you need to add an outline to the text you would need to have an extra copy of the text on top with no field. You could create extra effects by giving it a fill and then changing the blend mode. Or you could change the opacity of the layer.
