Please never restrict people from giving an answer closer to their understanding, if i were me i would simply get put off :( in answering this question! Anyway, one known way to add different styling to elements is basically to use different class names on such elements or carefully put inline styling on the element itself. I'm assuming that you have: This is the text you would like to transform! Above you have a "div" with a background image and a "p" inside a "div". To transform the text inside the "p" alone, simply add your transformation css effects to the extra class i put in place on the "p" which is: "txtTransform" like so: .txtTransform { transform:skew(-20deg,0deg); -ms-transform:skew(-20deg,0deg); /* IE 9 */ -moz-transform:skew(-20deg,0deg); /* Firefox */ } That's the basic way to separate css effects, using different class names for general and specific elements.
