Behind the scenes 2. Next puzzle

I made this one in Powerpoint. I used a picture of a cell phone keyboard as a template and drew the lines with the curvy line tool. The problem was that for long words, the gradient line function only applied the gradient along one axis, not along the path of the line. To get around this, I copied the curve, and cut it into reasonably straight pieces using the “delete points” function, which leaves the rest of the curve untouched.
