Transparency & Fonts
05/06/09 Filed in: Design
Ever run into a situation where the fonts in something you’ve had printed are outlined or “fat”?
Usually, that’s due to the fonts interacting with an object with transparency. Transparent objects include objects with actual transparency, but also things like drop shadows and other effects.
Where ever the fonts and transparency overlap, the transparent object must be placed behind the fonts.
An easy way to do this is to have your fonts located on a separate layer above the rest of the artwork.
For more information, and an easy way to detect this problem, take a minute to watch this great little video.
