It is recommended that you experiment with it a bit to see what looks best. Depending on the size of your letter, you may need to increase or decrease the displacement values for the X and Y axis. Use the same presets that you see in my screenshot above, then toggle on the Preview to see how it looks. You may have to adjust your values based on the size of your letter/subject. The following menu should populate: The Jitter Nodes feature allows you to displace the nodes of a given path. To do this, select your letter then navigate to Extensions > Modify Path > Jitter Nodes. This will roughen the edges of the letter to make it look more distressed. Next, we’ll use the Jitter Nodes extension to shift the positions of the different nodes. In the next step these nodes will be shifted at random to make the edges of the letter look rough and distressed. It’s important to ensure that there’s a consistent amount of nodes around the edges of the letter because these nodes will be shifted in order to roughen the edges of the letter. The idea is to add enough nodes so that there’s a consistent amount of nodes outlining the letter. Using the Edit Paths By Nodes tool, add some new nodes to your letter by double-clicking the edge of the letter. Reducing the opacity of the letter will help us visualize how it interacts with other objects in later steps. It would be wise to reduce the opacity of the letter to 50% as well so that you can see how objects intersect with it in later steps. This will change the letter from a text object to a vector path that we can alter further. To get started, the first thing we’ll have to do is generate some text, and then convert it to a path and ungroup it.
