Ah, you’re using Affinity Designer? I use that application as well, so I’ll give you a quick tutorial.

First things first, open a new document and have an object in the document that you’d like to apply the glow effect onto. This could be text, shape, or image, anything really. Now, select the object and click the fx icon at the bottom of the Layers tab (look at the attachment below for reference).


Now, upon clicking the fx icon, you will be greeted with this window opening:

Here, you can see plenty of options for effects to apply to your object. I am assuming you want a glow on the outer part of the object, so click the Outer Glow option.

You can customize different parts of the glow, such as the color and intensity, but for the sake of this tutorial, we will use the default settings. However, in order for the glow effect to appear, let’s pump up the Radius number to 25. So, now you just wanna click the checkbox right next to the Outer Glow option to apply the effect to the object. Close the fx window and you will see this:

And, that’s it! You have made an object glow through using fx. Nice job!
