Choosing a style to match the image
Picking the right overlay is a subtle art. Choose an overlay that doesn’t drastically alter the appearance of the image. The goal is to add just enough so the images looks untreated – whilst boosting text clarity. The overall colour, exposure, crop and style of image will influence which one you choose.
Text placement
The placement of text will also have an effect. You may need to pick different overlays at different breakpoints where text moves.
- Use BPK Overlays when you need to treat an image where text appears above it.
- Don’t create your own Overlays, these won’t be available in Code.
- Don’t apply to areas of the image with no text.
Poor image choice
Some images are simply beyond fixing with Overlays. Even doing destructive image editing might not be enough. If you’re trying too hard to save an image and text composition – consider choose a different image.
