📌 Why this matters
Layering text over images transforms static slides into polished, professional presentations that guide your audience's attention exactly where you want it. You can create stunning title slides, highlight key data points directly on charts, or add captions that don't compete with your visuals for space. The real power comes from visual hierarchy—when text floats seamlessly over images, you're not just sharing information, you're controlling the narrative flow and ensuring critical messages land with maximum impact.
