Step Three: Making the Text 3D

All right, hold on. I'm getting there. This part isn't quite as easy as adding the color, but still not too difficult. We haven't tried to make it move yet.

1. Select "COOL" from the Select an Object field.
2. Choose Bevel from your Easy Palette.
3. In the Attribute Toolbar, you will see a field title Bevel Mode. Go there and select Flat.
4. Now you'll notice the four fields (We're going to ignore the Precision field for now) to the right of the Bevel Mode field. If you want to play with them right now, just open up a new document; enter any text and mess around with each setting to see what it does. For now we'll set each field accordingly:

• Extrusion: 50 - Extrusion makes your text appear "deep." The higher the number, the deeper the text.
• Weight: 10 - This is easy. Increase the weight and your letters get fatter.
• Border: 100 - This decides the curvature of your bevel. The higher the number, the more curvature.
• Depth: 100 - This makes the bevels appear longer. The higher the number, the longer the bevel.

I really hope yours looks like this (or somewhat close will do):

Same as setting the color, repeat the above process after selecting "3D" from the Select an Object field. Your document should now look like this:

Yeah, I know. They look a lot alike right now, but trust me, they're different.
