"Hey everybody! My name is Matt. I'm speaking to you on behalf of Expert Village. We kind of briefly touched on lettering earlier. I'm going to go down to lettering and drag that out onto my main page. I've typed in bamp. You can add some cool action words like you might see in a Batman comic or something like that. I'm going to resize that. In order to do this, you're going to have to hold down the shift button when you click and drag one of these little blue dots. I'll show you here. If you just click on one without holding down shift, you're going to be able to distort your letters there. You can create some pretty cool effects like this. If you want to resize the entire thing, you're going to have to hold down shift. You can also change the rotation here as well. If you click details over here, you can change some of the attributes, the spread, the horizontal and vertical spread. You can add a skew and stagger to them as well. You can play around with these. You've got some other attributes down here at the bottom as well. You can change the fill and the gradient and the colors of those."
