Martigny Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Hi, Does anyone have any idea how to fit text to a banner so that it looks nicer than the example I've attached? I need it to fit between the red lines.

v_kyr Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 You can for example also use instead of single positioned frametext letters here grafiktext and place it on a copy of the lower curve path, so it follows that path and move that onto your yellow shape. Further you can change font types and then adjust the whole "Dreamer" words character spacing and distance settings to your individual likes.

I did actually try that and although it looks better it's not quite the result I want. I would ideally like the text to 'mould to the shape', if you know what I mean.

That looks pretty cool. Thanks Carl ... I'll give it a go.

Unfortunately the APhoto method converts my vectors to pixels and I don't want that. My option is now to 'painstakingly manipulate each letter' Quote iMac: iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5-inch, 2017) - 3.4 GHz Intel Core i5 - 8 GB 2400 MHz DDR4 - Radeon Pro 560 4096 MB Windows: Nvidia GTX 960m 4k UHD 2gb ram video (Windows 10 Pro) - Laptop screen (resolution 3840x2160 magnified 300%) 2nd Monitor: Phillips 226E9Q HD 1920 x 1080 (125%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
