Bending an image around a circle

[Egomaniac1992]

Greetings!

I am having a problem with creating an image. I have a circle, divided into 2 verticle halfs. 1 have is grey, one half is white. Around that circle, i want to have 4 chinese symbols (for live, create, question, feel). My problem is, i have these symbols in a word .doc format. I can convert to a .jpg format, but I am at a loss as to how to bend the images around the circle. I know it is possible because I have seen it done. But now I need to do it myself, with chinese symbols no less.

Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks for your help.

What graphics program are you using?

In my opinion it would be best to use Illustrator or some other vector based software. Firstly to be able to convert those Chinese symbols to vector versions, and then you could always bind them to the path of a circle. It would probably be better to use a grid to position them, and then rotate each one to the arc of the circle, it may be fiddly, but I bet it's quicker in the long run.
