Tips for Effective Text Overlays

  • Contrast is Key: Ensure your text color contrasts sufficiently with the background image for readability.
  • Strategic Placement: Position text where it doesn't obscure important elements of your image.
  • Appropriate Sizing: Choose a font size that's easily readable but doesn't dominate the entire image.
  • Style Consistency: Match your text style to the mood and purpose of your image.
  • Less is More: Avoid cluttering your image with excessive text that distracts from the visual content.
