I make my titles using Affinity Designer. I compose everything so they are right reading then I make copies of everything and flip them backwards. When I am ready to use one I cut it out and paint the printed side with paint and place it wet paint side down to what ever surface I am adhering it to and burnish it so all of it sticks to the surface. Before I add the paint I mark the back of the piece with an up arrow so I make sure it isn’t upside down when it is adhered to the surface. When it is completely dry I wet the paper with water and carefully rub all of the paper away revealing the right reading text.
Backward title text just about ready for some paint.
The back side of the title strip with an arrow pointing up to make sure the strip isn't positioned upside down. If you look carefully above the arrow you can see a little cut to indicate where the center of the title is. I draw the arrow at this center point to help see it better.
The title strip has been painted and applied to the bottom of the frame. I usually add the title to a piece when it has been completed. After the paint has dried thoroughly I will the layer of paper.
Here is how it turned out with the paper rubbed off. To see the full image go to the recent work gallery page.
