I was searching around a few older hard drives when I found this digital doodle I did in Affinity Designer. In the same way that I scribble away in sketchbooks, I will play around with vector shapes, colors and textures on the computer. If I like the results, I will save the file to maybe use it in some future project. What usually happens is that I forget about it.
Split screen view of the project in Affinity Designer. On the left is the X-Ray view showing how the piece is put together. On the right is the full version.
I really like the way these textures look on this type, and I hope to use this effect in a future project. Hopefully I’ll have a creepy or horrific subject that will work with this look.
Above is a similar effect in a different doodle. These are really fun to do, and I can definitely see them being used as a type treatment on a book cover in my future.
Those are interesting, but would have to be exported as a picture, because there isn’t a font that can duplicate it that I’m aware of!
It’s on a case by case basis, but it is a vector element so it is readily scalable unlike raster items.
