SOLUTION 2
To solve this puzzle, you first need to draw a compass with letters on it:
Z A R T C L A W
For each piece of angled text, consult the compass to get the right letter. The text starts out heading south: that gives us an 'A'. Then it goes southwest, giving 'L', then east, which is 'C'.
Follow this pattern for the whole puzzle and you get the answer: ALCATRAZ.
