Adding text to photos can make the photos fuller. Below I will introduce you to the layout method of adding text to photos. I hope it can help you!

1. Text rendering type

What is text rendering type? To put it simply, it allows people to allocate more attention to text, and then use text to optimize the picture. Huh? Isn't this a bit of a misunderstanding? Don’t let words attract too much attention? Ahem, this is an exception.

When using this type, the most important thing is to choose a good font, handwriting? Rough body? Slender body? The choice of font almost determines your final effect.

For example, this work:

Because the text occupies a large space, people are easily attracted to it, and because the text is very provocative, it attracts people’s attention. The force stays longer, and in the choice of fonts, a harder font is chosen to match the picture. Coupled with the choice of black text, the integration with the overall picture is very good.

2. Unpretentious type

This type is very common and widely used. In short, this type is pure text, and there is no contrast in color, size, font, etc.

This type has two basic types: vertical type and horizontal type.

For example:

This is the vertical type.

Another example:

This is the horizontal type.

The key to this type of design lies in the choice of font, spacing and text.

The font should be integrated with the picture, the spacing should be increased or decreased as needed, and the text must not be out of tune with the picture.

I won’t go into details, because this is not something that can be explained clearly in a few words.

3. Shading type

What is shading type? There is a shading in the text area to separate the text from the picture.

The advantage of this type is that it can minimize the impact of the picture on the text, giving you more space to choose text and layout, and it can highlight the text more effectively.

We often encounter this situation. When we input text on the screen, because the color difference is not big, the text is often covered up by the screen. At this time, the shading type can Solve this problem once and for all.

Of course, this type also has an obvious shortcoming, that is, if it is not arranged well, it will be like putting a patch on the screen.

For example:

In the picture below, because the overall tone is darker, if black text is added, the text will be difficult to see clearly, and the use of shading can be effective Solve this problem.

The key to shading type is how to better integrate the shading into the picture without appearing obtrusive. The main method is one: making the shading itself have a sense of design. Two: Adjust the opacity. Three: Place some text outside the shading to strengthen the connection between the shading and the picture.

4. Text line type

The so-called text line type means that there is a line in the text on the screen. This line usually has three forms of expression: horizontal, vertical and Diagonal lines, and the lines themselves come in two forms: solid lines and dotted lines.

Don’t underestimate this line, it can play a big role, mainly in balancing the picture, highlighting the layers, guiding the viewer, etc.

For example:

5. Font matching type

There is not much to talk about this type. The main thing is to match different font types to find differences in the same. , to highlight the key points, I personally recommend not to use too many fonts, 2-3 types are enough, and it is also recommended to match printed and handwritten fonts. Font matching also includes: Chinese and English matching, text and number matching, etc.

6. Color matching type

This is also very simple, so I won’t expand on it. The key points to note are: don’t have too many colors, just 2-3 types, and don’t have too much purity of color. If it is too high, it will easily become non-mainstream.

7. Small and large combination type

This is very simple and has been used before. It is to make the font size change to highlight the key points and have changes in rhythm. .

Of course, there are many ways to combine them, such as this one:

8. Mixed type of picture and text

This type is inlaid with pictures in the text. Pictures are generally composed of personalized signatures, totems, special symbols, etc., which can liven up the picture very well.

9. Hollow type

The so-called hollow type means that the text is hollow. For the hollow type, you need to pay attention to the choice of background color and font. Generally speaking, white background color is good. It would be better if you can choose a more suitable one. The font should be wide enough, otherwise it will be too slender. It has no effect at all.

9. Seal type

This type has a slightly narrower scope of application and is mainly used in Chinese-style photos.
