Random Text Example

There can be some creative uses for random text…
I started with spelling out the numbers one through twelve.
Then I made the characters a random font size and font, using GDG Text Helper.
the next step was to fit the text to a shape. I used a rarely known about feature of CorelDRAW’s envelope tool. Note: I made the animation below for you after I’d finished the clock, just so you can see this feature.
After fitting all the words to the pie shape, I positioned them around the clock face.  I made a few tweaks as necessary for some characters.
