Tips for Improving Text Overlay on Game Screenshot

Hello, I am not very good at design-specific tasks. I have been trying to improve my skills for years, but I am still terrible at it. xD

Currently, I am trying to rework my old game screenshots on my Play Store listing, which feature plain white text with a black outline. When I checked other store listings, I noticed that an overlay below the text gives the best effect on heavily filled screenshots like mine are.

I checked all eight screenshots, and the least distracting position for the text overlay is near the bottom right.
What do you think? Do you have any tips for me?

Any input is highly appreciated. Thank you.


I’m not quite sure what you’re asking, but I’m guessing that you’re referring to the lack of contrast between the elements at the bottom and the background. You can darken the mid-tones and dark areas of the background at the bottom, as I’ve done, or put a gradient overlay that fades from the bottom to about two-thirds of the way to the top.

If it were me, I’d rethink the ragged outlines on the buttons and “Collect Notes” overlays. I’m not sure if you’re asking about that, though.

Hello, thanks for your response.

I was asking for helping me to create an overlay to add the title “collect notes”, because my attempt (first picture) does not look good / prefessional.
