Sentence in a spiral or swirl, help!

[Bookworm]

Right, what I am trying to do is set out a sentence which repeats itself over and over in an ever decreasing circle, set as a spiral/swirling pattern, but flattened, like a tornado clou but seen in perspective. Does that make sense?

 

The concept is words which go round and round in someone's head, but visualised as circling above that person's head.

 

I could simply draw it, but my handwiting frankly is pap (amazingly, as my drawing/painting skills are ok), and I think the "mechanical" aspect of a font works better with the concept I have in mind anyway.

 

I tried with WordArt, no good. I have found one online which gave me the spiral, but front facing, so if anyone can help, I'd be very grateful. I have found explanations that go on about creating setting on paths and what not, which went whoosh over my head, at which point I knew there was only one thing for it: ask the CAG boffins.

You know, I saw you had replied and I said to DH: "that's odd, he's no IT chap, I bet he's going to have replied nonsense". And what do you know...

 

No dear, I haven't been drinking, only flavoured water.

 

It's for a poster for a support group I am going to get started for parents of kids on the autistic spectrum, and so I am going to use the Scream painting (NOT the movie! ), with that spiral of repetitive words circling above, Autism ADHD PDD-NOS Asperger's ASD ADD, over and over again to illustrate that, you see. I'm also going to have the words/acronyms SEN DLA LA IB CA HB etc... lining the sides of the road on which the screaming person is.

 

I will post a copy when it's done, you'll see it makes perfect sense. Trust me, I know what I am doing (in my head anyway, lol).

 

Right, off to take DH to lunch for both Father's Day and his b'day which is also today! Back later, I expct people to have completed their homework by then!

I don't know, it only shows me the download, not what it would look like.

That is lovely, but as it's for a poster, not a website, it's no good.

 

Good effort, though, have a tickle.

Could you post us the words and / or maybe a sketch of how you want it? Then the artsy ones of us can give it a bash?

would paintshop be able to bed those images into text there are free versions on the web

[Bookworm]

No, I need the text itself to form that shape, and to be transparent as well so i can just layer it on another picture (not that I am being difficult or anything, lol)

[locutus]

 

Thats about the best I can come up with.

[Bookworm]

That's GREAT, I can actually use that by turning it sideways and cropping it!
