How To Curve Text with Affinity Designer
In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to curve text with Affinity Designer so that you can wrap your text around a circle or place it on any other path. Knowing how to do this can enhance your ability to design logos, emblems, and badges. And thanks to Affinity Designer’s Artistic Text tool, this sort of thing can be accomplished relatively quick.
Wrapping text around a circle with Affinity Designer is very similar (in function) to the process you would use to do the same with Adobe Illustrator. However, it does appear to be more consistent in its behavior, and it’s much easier to work with your text once put on a path than it would be in Inkscape.
