Step 3Type your second title and set. Place the title above the background.






Exporting the Page SheetThis is the last step. Because we usualy use image in blogpost, we will save the page sheet to image. File > Save As > type your file name > Save as type: JPEG. Do not forget to change the resolution to high quality (300 dpi).
