  • better quality text over backdrop images

    Posted by Arturo Celleri on August 31, 2006 at 1:40 pm

    Hi, I’m wondering if you can give me some suggestions as to how have my text appear more legible when I superimpose it on Nature backdrops with all sorts of different colors to contrast with.
    Is there a text format that makes it easier to read?
    Thanks,
    Arturo

    Use a light complementary color, pale magenta against green perhaps, set off with a dark edge or drop shadow. Make the point size at least 30 with a block sanserif font.

    All the best,

    Tom
