Making Text Follow A Path
A very simple 3 step method to make normal Text follow a drawn path, can be used in many situations with good results.

Step 2: Now simply choose the Text tool and move the cursor to the start of your line and when the cursor looks like the one shown below click and then start typing, if done right the text should follow the line/path you have drawn.

Step 3: Now apply this method to any image to get a good effect that really stands out:
