so im trying to make a snake out of words and yeah i've made the shape of the snake with the pen tool and it i take the text cursor i know u can write along the lines but it want the letters to get bigger and smaller to fill in the snake and not go outside of the lines, im pretty sure this is possible right?

Howdy!

It IS possible - almost ANYTHING is possible with PHotoshop if one is willing to work hard enough.

Though, I suspect you are wanting to draw a curving line of varying width and have the text AUTOMATICALLY scale to fit the thickness of the space. Yes?

If that is your wish I'm not aware of anything that will do it automatically in PS. I'm gonna go try it now and see what happens!

Ah - here we go, though I doubt it will be much help....



Perhaps you can describe better what you want to actually do? Cool

something like this?


Actually I cheated a bit by selecting each individual word and giving it a different font-siz (and kerning if needed). Not too hard with short text. But if you're going to put the bible on a spline, then I wish you good luck..

I'd ratserize the text that follows the spline and then use the warp tool to make it fit

Ledirlo's idea would work. (Even if he won't! Razz)

I actually did that in CorelDRAW (I've been a fan for years) though Illustrator will do simular weirdness.

GOOD LUCK! May the SNAKE be with you! Very Happy
