Background images
Background images can be placed in the Footer in order to provide visual interest. The Botanic Garden and Artboretum site has a background image in the Footer:
As these background images will be overlayed by textual content, consideration needs to be given to the legibility of the text. To ensure text legibility, we recommend that you:
- Use images that are predominantly the same tone (i.e. mostly dark or most light)
- Use images that are either mostly dark or mostly light (avoid images which are mostly mid-tone)
- Set the text colour of the text appropriately (i.e. very dark text on a light image, or very light text on a dark image)
- Once in place, review your background image / text colour combination to assess the legibility
