2 - Well, we now have the text, but i?m still not happy with the font?s width.. So, let?s add some thickness to the letters.. With all the layers and the text selected press Ctrl-Shift-O (which will transform all the text in paths that can be editable).. Now, to increase the thickness of the letters go to the Object menu and in there, Path, and then Offset Path.. In the options, activate the Preview option and change the Offset value until you?re happy with the letters.. i?ve chosen 3 px.. but it depends on the font size you currently have.. Be careful not to lose some of the letters?s details when the font is too thick.. Now just press Ok.. Making this created duplicated paths of all the letters but thicker.. so, actually, you now have two of each path.. Just open the Direct Selection Tool (A) and drag one of the inner paths out and you?ll see there are two.. press Ctrl-Z to undo that and go on to the next step.. we?ll take care of the ?clones? later..
The best thing about it is that you can still edit the text!
Click Type Menu to edit the font and size of your word.
Use the text tool to type your title over the background image, using the Type menu to customize your font size and style.
Right click on your text, and choose "Create Outlines"
