Welcome back to the Affinity for Beginners series!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019ve learned the basics of working with text and creating simple designs, it\u2019s time to make your typography really stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"how<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In this tutorial, I\u2019ll show you three different ways to fill text with photos and patterns in Affinity. We\u2019ll start with the simplest method before moving into my favorite technique using the Vector Flood Fill Tool, which gives you much more flexibility and creative control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you create PNG designs, print on demand graphics, or digital products for Etsy, this is a technique you\u2019ll use again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Watch the full tutorial below to follow along step by step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
