Every element in this photoshop comp had odd angles to it. To make the Dr Seuss like text blocks, I used javascript to insert columns of floating divs. It's not perfect yet - I have to change the height of the text block to make enough divs to accommodate the reflowed text. It all depends on the angle and the text size.
