In some situations, it’s helpful to create a visual that relates to the text and can be easily read. With this method, you can choose a color that works well with the text and the background color, and then create a shadow effect that shows through that color and blends into the background.
In the case of this book, you can easily read the title, author’s name, and a brief description out loud without looking at the background color. This would probably be useful for the title of a book, but it’s also a great way to be able to read your favorite baseball game without looking at the back of the book.
Another interesting example of color-overlay reading is the new book released by the excellent indie developer/publisher/multimedia production house Color Rush. I’ve been using them for all sorts of things (e.g. coloring book covers, coloring book pages, coloring book images for my bookshelf, and more) and I always thought that they were a great alternative to traditional book covers because of their color-overlay and font type.
Color Rush has released a new book, Color Rush: The Art of Reading, that gives you a glimpse of what the company is working on for the rest of 2014. This colorful book contains a series of color overlays on each page of the book to help you quickly and easily find the information you’re looking for.
Color Rush The Art of Reading is a free download from the company’s website. For people who don’t have access to the internet, there’s also a free download for Kindle.
Color Rush The Art of Reading is definitely a great way to take in a bunch of information in one compact format.
Color overlays are kind of like those little paper inserts that you put on your computer screen that have little little icons on them. You can use them to find out how long something takes to load, how many seconds something takes to run, or how many pages there are in a video or pdf. The problem is that they only work on certain websites or on certain pages, so you can’t really do this with your own sites.
So far, the only color overlays that work for us have been for Flash and our own sites. That might be because most people who use our website actually use Flash, but it might also be because we want to let people know that we use certain overlays to help with loading time and other times that they are required to spend. I have also heard the same complaints from people who use Flash.
So far the only color overlays that have worked for us are for Flash and our own websites. For Flash, however, it is not possible to overlay text on a background image. As a result, we are limited to overlaying text on a colored background image, which is also not perfect, but it’s the best we can do.
