Opacity, transparency, seethroughiness is what the title of this video is going to be.
This black box here you can not see
through and it's helping me see the text against this.
I've done with his green boxes here you can see through a little bit watermark this logo,
page 2 is a big black box that is transparent.
Let's go and do that now.
First thing we're going to do is grab my rectangle tool,
not the rectangle frame tool,
before I start drawing what you might have to do is make sure you got nothing selected,
then go to the rectangle tool.
Make sure the stroke is set to none and the fill of
this box is going to be set to black not registration, registrations is bad.
I'm going to draw a box roughly to go on the outside.
Now it's on top of my type,
so I'm going to grab my black arrow,
I'm going to right-click it,
and I'm going to go to arrange and I'm going to go to sent backwards.
By chance I have to go back once.
Often you'll have to right-click it again and
go say and backwards until eventually it get behind the white-type.
It depends on when this thing was added to the document because it was last added,
it's on the top of the stack so it's easy to get behind.
Next thing I want to do, it's going to adjust this and this lady
over to the side here because we don't want the black box covering her.
But what I'd like to do is lower the opacity and I just have to select
it with my black arrow and up the top here there's this one called opacity.
I'm going to slow it down, slow it,
it's not a word, but I'll lower it anyway.
You decide how it's going to work with a background image,or how low it should go.
I might do the same for this green box.
I'm going to do that, lower this one down as well,
it's just for style points.
Looks cool having it partly see-through and it's a thing for this book.
You can see here on page 2,
this big black box here,
it's just a cool way of having a text on
a black background and we're showing part of the image and stop points.
Now we've done it for black boxes, you can do it for anything,
you can select anything low the capacity and have water text.
Might be watermark for the logo.
So let's add this guy down the bottom here,
and shrink it down. Moving down here.
But I'm going to lower the opacity,
so he's like a little watermark thing in the bottom there, which I don't like.
But anyway, that is opacity.
Let's get on to the next video.
