ABK | Muneer
ABK | Muneerβ€’2y ago
the contrast of of your img doesn't make the green text show nicely

filter: 'brightness(60%)',

ABK | Muneerβ€’2y ago
if you can use photoshop and mirror the right side twice so it's flower on both sides it could've been better
Mert Efe
Mert Efeβ€’2y ago
oh yea good idea but seems a bit hard
ABK | Muneer
ABK | Muneerβ€’2y ago
right right side on that one looks fine the left side kinda hard to read the green this one has the opposite

Mert Efe
Mert Efeβ€’2y ago
how can I make opaque overlay
MarkBoots
MarkBootsβ€’2y ago
you now have a gradient. make the first color stop 100% and let it go transparent (or whatever, doesnt matter) something like
linear-gradient(rgb(0 255 0 / .5) 100%, transparent 0)
linear-gradient(rgb(0 255 0 / .5) 100%, transparent 0)

background-image: linear-gradient(0deg, rgba(0,89,12, 0.2), rgba(255, 255, 255, 1)), url('/images/paeonia_new2.jpg'); is this better ? imo this is better than white opaque it was white before what u think

I don't know. maybe it is a just to detailed image. You can also ask in #ui-ux there are people with a better eye for design

image darker gets rly bad
MarkBoots
MarkBootsβ€’2y ago

Mert Efe
Mert Efeβ€’2y ago

how's this one ? fck it its too hard
MarkBoots
MarkBootsβ€’2y ago
the green leaf it too green πŸ˜‰ another idea. instead of the gradient on the full footer. What if you do it on the inner container and a lot lot lighter. Then you'll have some color at the side, but more clear behind the text or blur the background to get rid of some hard details (but then you'll have to put the background-image in a pseudo element)

@MarkBoots how do u decide which font family ? u experienced ithat ?
MarkBoots
MarkBootsβ€’2y ago
I normaly work from what is given by designer / business style guide Else i try to match what is in the logo. And if that won't work... I struggle too.
Mert Efe
Mert Efeβ€’2y ago
I chose Inter since it was more in line with logo text
MarkBoots
MarkBootsβ€’2y ago
for readability serif fonts are better, so I'd try that too. specially for longer text but your current one looks nice and safe too (Note: Im not a designer)

you could try to give the paragraph a tiny little white text-shadow to distanciate it even a bit more
Mert Efe
Mert Efeβ€’2y ago

Kevin has a video with a great trick to isolation: isolate the background image, so you could change the opacity of it, and add a filter on top, so font would be readable regardless of the color.
vince
vinceβ€’2y ago
What!!! You can do that?! So you don't need an overlay??

Lower the opacity of a background-image with CSS
We can play with the opacity of colors by changing the alpha value of them very easily, but with background-images, we’re a little more stuck with what we have… or are we? ⌚ Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 00:38 - the first thing people usually try 1:32 - creating the pseudo-element 4:38 - putting the background-image on the pseudo-element 5:0...
