A great way to add visual interest to any design project is to overlap an image over text. This simple technique will add depth to your design project, giving even a simple newsletter or masthead a more dramatic visual impact. First, place your text or nameplate over a background image. Now, go back to the background image in the Layers palette and select the areas you want to overlap the text (using the selection tool of your choice). Place this selection on its own layer by pressing Command-J (PC: Control-J), then move it to the top of the Layers palette above your text or nameplate layer. It's that simple. |
