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.

      You can’t go back to text after you have outlined to shapes as shown in your screen capture.

      It’s still not clear what you are trying to accomplish though.
