Then use your up or down arrows to move the pixel size up or down. Just click directly on the pixel value 60 px. Go to the Character panel again and don't use the drop-down. With the top line selected, let's make this line of type a little smaller. Let's hover back over our text again so we get the I bar, and start on the right side for CLOTHES and click and drag to highlight back to the left. That's going to give me a lot more space between the different elements. I'll click on that drop down and choose a setting of 72 px. The next field here controls the amount of space in between the two lines. If you press Tab, you can move to the next field. So, I'm going to change this text from 60 px to 40px. Go ahead and let go of your mouse once that's highlighted and then we can go back to the Character panel and anything that I change will only change the selected text. I'm going to start off the right side of 1965, click once and drag to the left to highlight the entire lower line. And when I hover my mouse over the words I get the I bar, which means I can edit that area of the text. Once we double click, we'll see the text is now highlighted in the Composition panel. To customize the different lines of type within one single text layer, go down to the Timeline and double click on the T icon, just to the left of the name of the layer. Go ahead and click on that button and that'll make the text all caps. Go to the bottom of the Character panel and you'll see a graphic representation of all caps here with these double Ts. So, notice when it looks like this, then you can go ahead and let go with your mouse, and let go of the Control key.

That way when I click and drag, and then start to hold Control on Windows or Command on the Mac, that signifies that I want to snap the center of these words to the center of the different objects in the scene. Now, I'm going to let go of my mouse and the Control key, because I'm going to move my mouse right over the center section of the words here. If you hold Control on Windows or Command on the Mac, after you start dragging, you'll notice the text will start to snap to different objects in the scene. To reposition the text within the composition, simply click inside the bounding box and start moving the text around. In order to set this text, let's go back up to our Tool panel, and click on the leftmost tool, our Selection tool. And let's add the words custom, clothes, and then press Return to go to the next line. Now, to add text into the scene, let's go to the Tool panel in the upper left corner and click on the T for the text, and then we'll hover underneath the word LANEKA'S and then click towards the middle here. So, I'll go to the lower left corner, click on the Magnification drop down and change that to 100%. As I'm looking at the Composition panel, its magnification is less than 100%, and I'd like to actually zoom in. Lastly, go to the Paragraph panel and make sure that the text is center justified because we want the text to be centered underneath of our main text here in the Composition panel. Just so we all have the same size text, let's click on the drop down where we can set our text size. In order to choose white, just click the white box down here.

Yours may be a completely different color. To set the color of our text, let's go over the right side here and notice we have red as the previous color. And now I have a bunch of different Arial options. So, click on the first drop-down and you'll notice that we have not only the names of the fonts on the left, but previews of what the fonts will look like on the right. Let's start in the Character panel and set our font. That'll open the Character panel and the Paragraph panel here on the right side of the interface. Click on that and that'll show you all the rest of the workspaces. Go to the upper right corner of the Composition panel, and just above it, you'll see this double arrow here. Since we will be working with text in this tutorial, let's start by switching to the Text workspace.
