I've had AFFINITY Bundle for about 2 years now. I've just found your videos. I've learned more from DESIGNER from you in 2 minutes than I have from another learing source. THANK you SIR for your expertise & teaching style.
For the last few years I have been doing circular text using Word Art in Microsoft Word, which has been like cutting my lawn with scissors. You have persuaded me to buy the whole Affinity suite.
First of all, I want to say "Thank You"! Vides of this nature are priceless and are very important. You did a beautiful job explaining the process without a lot of B.S. I now maintain that RUclips University is a real thing. More videos of this quality are badly needed. I say Public and Private schools can be easily replaced with educational videos such as these. Pick a subject and voila, you are smarter for the experience. The best part is, you can rewind until you get it right. Keep up the great work. I'll be watching for more. Again, Thank you!
Just wanted to leave a quick tip for anyone wondering. I had an issue where I made an SVG out of a logo I created but when I exported it, it had a lot of empty space around what I wanted. What I did was I selected the elements that I wanted and when exporting -> File settings, there is a little drop down menu that showed say whole document. If you have the elements you selected beforehand, there should now be an option that said "Selected only". You click that and it should make your file be the same size as what you just made.
This must be the best tutorial on the subject I've seen on yt, thank you! I've been having problems with the right placement, was making 2 circles, ect and this video showed how easy it is:))
Just to echo the other compliments - This is a an outstanding tutorial.. You've explained a big " How in the world do I do that??.." for me. Well done!
This was great, and if someone sit like me, where they can't figure out why the text underneath, keeps jumping into the circle... it's because you didnt make the text be aligned to the middle part of the circle. I somehow jumped over that step, sat 10 min extra and couldn't figure it out. Follow the steps people!
Thank you so much fo this tutorial, it's been incredibly helpful!!! I'm so lost when it comes to Affinity Designer, but I'm trying to learn for laser cutting.
the transition from using the Transform tool from PS to this is really different. i'm having trouble with adjusting the handles and making text inside the circle to align with the text outside of the circle. lol
I love your tutorials. So straightforward and helpful. It would be great if you could do some simple graphics with layering/clipping/masking. I’m on iPad so I attempt to understand the desktop keyboard commands. (kind of tricky) Thanks so much! PS. Are you Canadian?
@@DesignMadeSimple Great video. I was subscribed but unsubscribed because most of your videos were about Gimp, inkscape and Adobe products. I no longer use Adobe subscriptions and was not interested in Inkscape or Gimp. I had started using Affinity programs. I stumbled upon one of your recent Affinity designer videos and really liked it. Then I remembered who you were and looked through more of your videos and was pleasantly surprised to find more Affinity videos. I subscribed again and started watching a few of them when I saw that you have a course on Affinity Designer so I bought it. I'm going through it today. I'm so happy that you also do Affinity program videos. By the way I see you are from Philly. I grew up in Philly too and have lived in the area all of my life. I am now in Ardmore. High five to a fellow Philly native!
A great tutorial, well explained and to the point! A question; If you want the text to curve along the top and along the bottom outer circle, how can you do that? i.e 3:25 mins in, when you pressed enter, instead of typing on the inside, how can you type along the outside?
Late to the party, but happy i made it! Question: Can this be done allowing the words to take the shape of numbers? Please help i have an idea but i don’t know how to execute. trying to create numbers but with words that can be read. Hope this makes sense.
Can you do one like this where you do a circle within a circle with text in between the two circles that goes all the way around and then an image inside the circle?
Hey Nick, In Inkscape you can select a shape and auto resize the canvas to the selected item. I cant work out how to do that in Affinity. Is that even an option?
Very nice tutorial, thank you. I have a question regarding the circle (or more generally the curve), on which the text is placed. I have put my text on a circle with the baseline set so that the circle runs through the text. Now, I would like to show the outline of the circle up until a certain margin from the text. Do I have to draw a second circle for that or can I make the line of the circle visible, on which the text is placed, so that it resizes together with the text?
Check out my master class where I explain how every tool and feature works in Affinity Designer: logosbynick.com/affinity-designer/

I paused the video in the middle just to say this" You are literally the best teacher on RUclips!
I scrolled down to do the same only to find it has already been said! Love how clear and efficient the instructions are.
Totally agree.
DITTO! :) THANKS!

Excellent tutorial, as concise as it could be, while giving all relevant information. With timestamps as well, what more could one ask for! Thank you.

This is amazing! Thank you so much!
I wonder if the same effect could be done with a spiral line, forming a kind of text along the groves of a record effect.
Thanks a lot. Great tutorial. Just what I needed.
Just what I needed. Thanks! :D
Your are a genius. Just made my day.
Baseline tool looks great! I always hated having to make a new circle in AI for the bottom text.
Thanks! Just what i needed.
Thank you for this very simple explanation!
Thank you for the turorial!
Brilliant thanks! Exactly what I was looking for
Amazing as usual. Thanks!
Thanks for this explanation Mate, So what do you mean by converting the Design to a curve?
Amazing quick and super helpful dude thanks so much
Thanks just starting out with affinity and this helps a lot ,can you do this with a square aswell ?
Sure, this will work with any shape, as long as it's a path.
Can you do one like this where you do a circle within a circle with text in between the two circles that goes all the way around and then an image inside the circle?
Nick. How do you create text that runs North -> South(vertical). All tutorials are for curved text East->West(horizontal). I do this in inkscape.
This was so helpful, thank you!
Once you convert to Curves can you put it back to the original circle you were working with so you can change the overall curvature?
Hey Nick, In Inkscape you can select a shape and auto resize the canvas to the selected item. I cant work out how to do that in Affinity. Is that even an option?
Brilliant video, thank you.
Really nice tutorial, thank you so much.
Great video. Very helpful. Thank you.
Great video, it taught me so many tips! Thank you! :-)

Really well explained. Thank you.
Thank you for this!
Hi, great tutorial! How to make text follow the path of an irregular shape for eg. a heart?
Good tutorial, thanks!!
That's awesome, thanks so much!!!
God Bless you for your help. Thank you so much.
THANK YOU!
Hi there, thanks for a clearly explained, very helpful video.
Thank you a lot Brother for the Class now i understand
Very helpful. Thank you. Subscribed.
Awesome video. Thanks
Very informative video❤️
EXCELENT VIDEO!!!!!! THANKS FOR THIS!!!
Can you add text to other objects like a ribbon. So the words would be in the curve of the ribbon.
How do you hide the circle? When I select the circle tool and click the red slash for no fill it hides the text but not the circle. Thanks!
wow! great
Thank you.....nice tutorial
Thanks so much!
Nick any day!
Enter doesn't seem to work (return) on a Mac when you want to do the bottom text starting 3:27. What am I missing?
Fantastic ... Thanks ....
wish you would do this on a ipad
Yes please! I‘ve been struggling for days with this and it just won‘t work :(
I just tried it on my IPad and it works, you just have to make sure you’re hitting the right spot when you click on your object.
