photoshop- Create Text on a circle
| 1) Create a New new 300X300 file in RGB color Mode, and choose contents as transparent.
2) Fill the canvas with the desired background color (Edit » Fill). 3) Turn on the Rulers & Gudes. (Choose View > Show Rulers, & View > Snap to Guides). 4) Drag a vertical and horizontal guide into the center of the canvas. |
 |
| 5) Select the Type tool [ T ] and enter some text. Use whatever font and size you like and for best results, make sure you space your letters by increasing the Tracking (for this example I used a value of 100). Position the text vertically as shown, and center it horizontally using the guide. |  |
| 6) Rotate the text by selecting Image > Rotate Canvas >180º.This step is required in order to end up with text which reads across the top of our circle : however, you may skip this step if you want your text to read around the bottom. See Fig 6
7) Increase the text height to approximately twice its default height by using Free Transform. (Choose Edit > Free Transform and drag the border down and press enter.) If you omit this step and apply the Polar filter, the text will be disproportioned .See Fig 7 |
 |
| 8) Now apply Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates using the Rectangular to Polar option. When prompted about rendering the text layer, click OK .
If you want you can change the position of the text circle by using move tool. 9)Rotate the image right-side-up again by Selecting Image > Rotate Canvas > 180º. In this fig the text ring is not a complete circle. By changing the text size You can make a complete text ring. See Fig 8 |
