In case you were wondering how the text for "temporary sanity designs" on
our home page was done, here's the recipe. While it would have been
possible to do this with a drawing package (like Designer, Corel Draw, or
Illustrator) that's not how I did it.
The first ingredient is, of course, the text:
|
| Now copy this text into a square picture, like 500x500, and flip it upside down. Open up Vortex Tiling (from KPT 3). Set your center to be (0, -75) and your intensity to be 50. (Adjust these to change the amount of curvature.) Apply the effect: |
|
Now just cut out the portion of the text you want, rotate to the
orientation you need, and do whatever:
 Something to keep in mind is that the Vortex Tiling plug-in will interpolate the larger portion of the text. For this reason I suggest you use a large version of the text and scale it down after you've curved it. The text actually used to create the above image started out as a 1466x111 picture, which helped reduce unnecessary blurring. |
