How does one go about creating the effect on the text in the attached photo

I would like to use this style on a couple signs I would like to make
Oh yeah I have Corel Draw X3 if that helps

Thanks

Is this what you are looking for? if so try using the envelop function in CD. That is one way. I knew of another way but I can’t seem to remember. I sure it will come to me.

That would most likely be done in a graphics program. Very simple to do in Photoshop 7, and I would guess, most other decent graphics programs. Even specialized 3d text programs will do razzoo stuff like this.

That is what I was thinking Bud. WordArt should be able to handle that easily...

Since you have Corel Draw then I would do it there.... It is called Place Text in a Container... Make up the text and design and make it a black with a transparent background and bring it in to Designer. Might need to be a .png to make designer like it.... Cut the whole thing in Raster after adding some DRAFT to keep you from getting chipped edges...

The font looks like Times New Roman, the default for Word. I tried to change the default - I don't like that font for documents - but it won't stick.

How do you do that process? I can only find Place Text in Container option under Power Clip and that only clips the text to the object I drew it does not fill the text to distort Am I missing a step?

If you or someone finds out what the font is let me know. all I know of the sign is that the upper font is some sort of 70's hippy font?
Keep truck'n was as close as I could come up with

Just spent the last hour or so looking, but with no luck -- more than 30 different sites -- nothing really close enough yet
