Before CS, Text-on-a-curve was a popular request that lots of people dinged Adobe for not including it in Photoshop.
But really, isn’t text-on-a-curve one of the most useless/amateur techniques possible? I’ve NEVER needed to use it (even pre-CS), I almost never see it used in professional media (other than on double-sided DVDs and album covers from the 1970s) and I’ve never seen a design guide or instructional design book that recommends it. I can’t imagine scores of designers out there dying to use a feature like this.
So what gives? Why was it requested so often? Is anyone using this feature now? Is this a case of people wanting it just cuz it’s a cool little feature and ignoring the actual practical application of it?
Just wondering,
Hanford
