Looks like an outline with some well placed and scaled text blocks on to me, but heres a good link to a few nice looking tutorials that will point you in the right direction.

Hey Jay,

This is just one of many possible techniques.

In addition to some well placed and scaled text, you can accomplish a lot by typing on a path. You will have to learn the Pen Tool. It's just a matter of creating an open ended path and placing text on it. Here is a Google Page full of Text on a Path tutorials.

Here's a little something I started so you could get the idea. I just used a image of the popular mouse, reduced it's opacity, and used the Pen Tool to create open ended paths which I then added text. You can size and space the text to fit on the path.

The example you show can be easily improved in Photoshop. If you see the letters that extend out of the fields, such as the ear, those letters can be constrained so that they don't go outside the outlines.

Each drawn piece can go on a separate layer, such as the ear. You draw the ear, pen tool is best for that. Then fill it with a chosen color. Take the words that you've done according to either of the explanations above, copy merge them into one layer (copy-merge will preserve the layers but put them all together on one. Make sure this layer is above your ear. Now hold the alt/opt key and click between the two layers. Move the words around if they get clipped off, transform them, or select and move with the move tool. Or you can redo them on the multiple text layers, the ones you merged earlier.

Lots of different methods in PS to do the same or similar things.

Get back to us if you have problems or questions. Post your work, if you don't mind, so we can see what you came up with. Thanks.

I'm afraid I could not do what I was looking to do. I've looked online everywhere for help but nothing Think I'm just terrible with photoshop. This Picture is similar to what I am trying to do it looks as if whoever done it has sat and placed every word bit by bit but surely that cant be right can it.

Yes. There isn't a "do what is in my brain" button.

Jay, where did you get the image you last posted? Is there anyone whom you might contact to find out where or how the image was created?

It may not even be being created in Photoshop!
