I have a solution that requires experience. You may need to use the appearance panel. No need to linearize your writing. By grouping a vector object with your writing, you can design by giving linear backward thicknesses. I share a link via Youtube. See examples like this.

Andrea,

Please be lots more specific. From what you've posted I have no clear idea of what your problem is.

Thank you for responding Peter. I managed to make the image into a compound shape. But my text are still paths. I want to make everything-text and image a combined vector. I’m know I’m missing a simple step.

Why would you want to do this? Because if you do, it will all be the same color. I'm not sure if this is what you want to accomplish. If you want everything to be one object, group it, but I can't see why that should be necessary either.
