Why Overlay Text?
Overlaying text can be useful when you want to put text on top of an image. A particular use case for this I can quickly think of is when putting the title of a blog on top of an image. This is exceptionally useful when you use an image overlay combined with this.
The CSS
.container {
width: 50%;
height: auto;
aspect-ratio: 1.5/1;
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
}
.image {
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
object-fit: cover;
position: absolute;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.container p {
color: #000;
text-align: center;
font-size: 2rem;
font-weight: bold;
}
.container div {
position: relative;
}The Entire Page
Here’s the demo of the entire page so you can play with it and see it in action.
