Communication is all about the message.
The question, though, is how do you make your message stand out? You don’t camouflage a sign in the forest and youdontwritewithoutspaces. So the answer is framing or background. Give your message contrast and you can see it more clearly. If you need to create effective titles or messages quickly there are some techniques that are easy to set up using Blender’s Mask tools, 3D view and the VSE. They are super quick and with some design fundamentals, they can look great too.
