Set a line of text, select it using the rectangular-marquee
tool,
then run the Polar
Coordinates filter
(choose "Polar Coordinates
..." from the Distort
submenu on the Filters
menu,
in the "Polar Coordinates" dialog box, choose
the "Rectangular to Polar"
option and click "OK").
Your type will be distorted around a circular
or elliptical shape, with the exact
effect depending on the shape of the selection
you chose.
You may need to experiment a bit to achieve predictable
results, the range of effects is limited,
and the type itself becomes distorted.But with
a little creative play, you can get some pretty interesting results.
