Using the Circular Text Tool in
SureThing Deluxe
 A
couple of months ago, Lance Armstrong won his 6th Tour de France, The man is
amazing. As the competition rises to meet his challenge, he simply becomes an
even stronger rider.
Much the same can be said for SureThing CD/DVD Labeler Deluxe. Yes, I know. Hardly
comparable. But if you look at this objectively you can definitely see that the
SureThing feature set has evolved to make SureThing Deluxe the consummate CD/DVD
Labeler.
One feature in particular is the Circular Text tool, which lets you create text
on a circular path. Copyright text, for instance, along the edge of a CD is a
good example. Alas, in versions prior to 4.0, using text effects to accomplish
this was somewhat difficult. If you used the right size font and length of sentence,
and, of course, sized the box perfectly, and then placed the box just so, it
looked really good. But version 4 changes all that.
In SureThing Deluxe v4, all one needs to do to insert perfect circular text is
to choose "Insert Circular Text" from the Insert menu or select "Add
Circular Text" from the text menu on the left hand side of your screen.
The new tool lets you quickly and easily create three different types of circular
text: circular, spiral and spokes (ah, so that's where the bicycle analogies
come in!).
Other key options available in the Circular Text dialog box are the ability to
edit the size, position, and rotation of the circular text, change the color
of the text and add enhancements such as drop shadows and outlines.
SureThing Deluxe v4 has new Smart Designs that use all of these forms of Circular
text. This will help you get the idea of how they all work. Essentially though,
they are very simple to use. Once you have inserted that circular text simply
click and drag the little red boxes to adjust the size of the circle. Click and
drag on the little circular arrows to adjust the rotation of the circle.
Lately I’ve been playing with the Circular text tool and have found that
it makes a cool background effect over a solid background color. Check this out!
To do this I simply entered tons and tons of S’s as my text for the Spiral
effect. It’s about 33 S’s per line and about 43 lines. Changing the
text size has a dramatic effect on how it ends up looking. So does changing the
letter!
