Transparency

In graphic design, transparency is used to create "dense, layered imagery built from veils of colour and texture". You are able to change the opacity of any image on image editing software such as Adobe Photoshop. Before a transparent image is placed over another image, it appears faded; this will allow the second image in the background to be seen through this. Transparency allows you to create different layers throughout the design, creating a background, foreground and middle ground and allowing there to be dominating elements. 

For this task, I used an image that I have previously taken, and created some typography to create different transparencies in one design. 


I used two copies of a portrait of a male model and places one image in the centre, and one in top right hand corner to create a sense of movement across the page. I then used typography that says "insert inspirational text"; I used four copies of this and placed it in different positions across the page, making sure they were all on their own layer, and some were in front and behind the main images.
