I'm sure it's fairly easy to do this, but i'm blanking out. An example of what i mean is the header banner here: http://www.lesterchan.net/blogs/ Can anyone help out? Oh, btw, i'm using PSPX. _____________________________ You look like you're about to do something stupid. I'm in.

Apply the text and you should find it has moving ants round it. Go to Effects>Geometric Effects and choose Perspective - Horizontal In the Distortion box, the higher the number the more the text is sloped If that doesn't give the result you want then open a canvas the same height as your text Type the text in deselect it so the whole canvas is active and then use the perspective skew. You can then crop round the text or, if you've applied the same background colour as your cube, paste it straight in. There are loads of effects in there. You may find it easier to do one letter at a time. Like I say, you have to play with it. Come to think of it, you could also try the deform tool which is on the toolbox bar, and drag the text about to see if that works. < Message edited by jaybee -- 10/23/2006 10:38:48 > _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
