To avoid these sad effects, you should use a vector-based program to create your text, and them copy it over to a raster program if you need a raster image. Unfortunately the filter uses a simple linear interpolation which let the borders fuzzy, so if you are using GIMP, you should work with a higher resolution than the one intended for the final result, and use the colors->curves tool to sharpen the contrast at the edges after applying the effect and scaling down. Add any embellishments you like: I’ve added an f logo in the middle, and a glowing tire tread around the outside.Using GIMP, you can write your text as normal and then use the filters->Distort->Curve Bend filter - it allows you to draw your desired arc with control points. Step 16: Finishing offĭuplicate the shadow Shape layer, and scale it so it fits the outer circle of text as well.

Step 15: The shadow resultĭrag the new shadow Shape layer above your text, and use Free Transform to scale it so it’s the same size as the type layer. Set the Choke and Size values until it looks right. Step 14: Making the shadow, part twoĪdd an Inner Shadow, still in the Layer Style pane. Here, in the Blending Options pane, set the Fill Opacity to 0 so that the shape becomes invisible. Make sure there’s no stroke, and open the Layer Style panel. Begin by making a circle with the Shapes tool, this time set to Shape rather than Path. We’ll now add a circular shadow around the outside of the text, which will give it a more three-dimensional quality. Here, I’ve added a black background to make the text stand out. Step 12: Duplicate and flip the warpĭuplicate the text and set the bend amount to -100 to make it bend the opposite way. Note how the characters all enlarge as they radiate from the center. Using the Character panel again, change the horizontal width of the type – in this case, a width of 30% works well. The condensed type has been flattened, producing an ugly contrast between the horizontal and vertical strokes. When the Warped text is scaled down to fit in the middle of the circle, it looks wrong. Set the Bend amount to its maximum value of +100. Open the Warp Text dialog from the Options bar when the Type tool is selected, and choose the Arc distortion. Begin by typing your text, with no circle, as a regular line of type. Here’s the second method of creating circular text. But there’s something ungainly about it the bottoms of the letters are close together, but the tops are too far apart. You could use the same process to create the title text, which is here set in a condensed bold font. Step 7: Another piece of text in a circle

Now, the bottom piece of text is the right way up to read. In the Character panel, reduce the Baseline Shift setting to bring the text down so that the tops of the letters align with the circle.

This can be a little tricky, as the handles are both hard to see and hard to grab. Grab one of the little handles inside the text circle, and drag it so that the text appears inside the circle, rather than outside it. It will look more or less the same as before. Step 4: Duplicate the text circleĭuplicate the circle layer, and use the Type tool to retype just the text you want. More after the jump!
