Place Text Behind an Image in Adobe Spark

Ever wondered how to add text behind an image this?

Guess what? You don’t need Photoshop to do that?

You can create these easily with a bit of patience in Adobe Spark?

Add An Image

Start by begging a new project and choosing a custom size graphic. Then click on the Photos button. Add an image using any of the options.

Add Text

Now you will want to add text. Either as one word or phrase. You can even add one letter at a time for a. creative effect. In this case I will click on the Text button and add E•G•Y•P•T. As a shortcut, you can add one letter at at time and resize, then duplicate and then edit each letter.

As a tip, select all letters and align them and position them.

Add Same Image and Remove Background

Click on the Photos button again and add the same image. Adjust the size of the image by dragging it until it close to the same position as the first image. Tip: slide the opacity to make resizing easier to match. Don’t forget to slide opacity back to 100%.

With the image selected, click on Remove Background and watch the magic happen!

Adjust Letter or Text Layering

Next step will require a little patience. You will be adjusting text and top layer by moving text up and own layers as well as the top image.

Click on an object (text or image) will make a submenu appear. Click on the one that looks like a series of squares with an arrow pointing up or down. Each project will vary depending on. how much text you have added.

And that’s it! Download and share.
