Replace an Image used as a Section Background

A very dramatic responsive design idea is to use an image as the background behind a section.

If you add a parallax effect, as the user scrolls down the page the background image and the content over it will scroll at different speeds. This creates a sense of depth.

This lesson outlines the steps to add an image background to a Section on the Flow page and set it to a slow parallax effect.

Steps to change the background fill color on a Section in a Flow Page.

For this lesson the page has a Decorative Header section added to the top of the Page from from the Add Your First Section options on a blank page plus a second section added below that.

Adding a background image to a Section on a Flow page is a great design idea. But images are often very complex visually and it can be hard to read text over them.

In this lesson we’ll add a transparen...

Steps to set a background (fill) color on an element.

Setting a background color can be used for many visual effects.

In this example, we have a text element over an image and it's difficult to read the text.

We can add a background or fill color to help the text stand out more.

Giving the background color a slight transparency allows the image to still be seen through the text element, which can be an interesting visual design effect.
