Step 5: Duplicate your text layer. Double click on the "T" in your new layer. Once highlighted type in the word you would for the bottom of the circle.

Step 6: CLick on the Warp Text icon in the option Bar. Move the mouse outside the box and position your text where you would like it to go. Move the bend Slider to the left.

Tips for using Warp Text:

• Make sure your type doesn't seem too stretched after using Warp Text. If it does, try the technique again but before you do , condense the type even further than the 70%.
