Step Two:
               Let’s create another line of type below our “Norway” headline, so get the Horizontal Type tool again, click somewhere on the image, and type “Land of the
               Midnight Sun” in a script font (I used Serendipity at 52 pt). Get the Move tool again, and click-and-drag this Type layer under the word “Norway,” like I
               have here. Also, in the Layers panel, I would click-and-drag this new Type layer below the Norway layer (as seen here) because, visually, the Norway layer
               is higher up the image than the Land of the Midnight Sun layer (this will make more sense later on). Now that we’ve added this second Type layer, there is
               a problem: the area behind our Land of the Midnight Sun type is so bright that it’s kind of hard to see the type. So, in the next step, we’ll put something
               behind it to make it easier to see.


































               Step Three:
               We’re going to put a black bar behind the type, so it’s easier to read, and we’ll create this on a new blank layer. To create one, click on the Create a New
               Layer icon (it’s the second one from the right) at the bottom of the Layers panel. Now, get the Rectangular Marquee tool (M) from the Toolbar and click-
               and-drag out a wide rectangle from side to side (as seen here). You’ll see a moving marquee around that area. Press the letter D on your keyboard to set
               your Foreground color to black, and then press Option-Delete (PC: Alt-Backspace) to fill this selection with black. Now press Command-D (PC: Ctrl-
