# overlapping

Text and images overlap, blurring foreground and background relationships.

## Structure

- Elements layered on top of each other with intentional overlap
- Depth created through z-order, opacity, and shadow
- Overlapping creates visual richness and complexity
- Key elements remain legible despite overlap

## Best For

- Rich, layered editorial designs
- Collage-style compositions
- Content showing interconnection or integration
- Visually complex artistic presentations

## Visual Elements

- Multiple overlapping layers
- Drop shadows and opacity variations
- Clear z-order hierarchy
- Clipping masks or blend modes for integration

## Text Placement

- Text in the most legible layer
- Avoid placing critical text under opaque elements
- Title in a clear, non-overlapping zone

## Recommended Pairings

- `glitch-art`: Torn paper overlapping layers
- `storybook-watercolor`: Painterly overlapping elements
- `high-contrast-ad`: High-contrast overlapping shapes
