Answer:



Woahhh, how did you make the text curvy without warping the letters, I hear you ask.

Here is how:

  1. open photoshop

  2. select the circle/ellipse tool (or another shape if you want to make your word's back break) and create a shape

  3. in the top left corner, make sure it says path and not shape or pixels

  4. select the text/horizontal type tool and click anywhere on the circle path you just created

  5. start typing

  6. be amazed

  7. realize that oh no, my text is not centred I'm going to have to rewrite everything

  8. stop worrying because you can actually select the path selection tool (looks like a cursor) and click and drag the starting/ending point of your path to move your text

    1. they look like a thing with a stick sticking out of it

  9. be disappointed because your text can only curve clockwise and not the other way

  10. consider flipping your text upside down

  11. realize that you don't actually have to go through this much mental turmoil because you can just click and drag the starting/ending point inwards (into your circle) and your text will fwoop
