Document Classes ⇒ Certificate of Participation - Fancy ribbon Banner

[pthowe]

doing Certificates for class. Is there a style?

Does anyone know how to create that ribbon effect you sometimes see on documents with words then written on the ribbon.

Thanks

If I don't completely misunderstand, either the pgf/tikZ or pst-text package should be the right tool.


Best regards and welcome to the board

Worked very well. I could not figure out how to get the folded ribbon effect. Also could not figure out how to create a ribbon with an arch and text which followed the arch.

I feel the package supports these just beyond my ability to get the output

Thanks

The best way to describe your recent efforts as well as the occurring difficulties is to submit a minimal working example (MWE). This lets us test possible solutions very easy and saves time.

Hi Everyone,
My task has come back to me. If anyone can assist with the ribbon/tape which is curved with text and the wave at both ends that would be great. I have constructed an example of what I have. Any suggestions would be great.

Thanks
