Approach to Create Text Portrait using CSS

Here are the steps required to get the desired text portrait.

  • Create an HTML document with a bunch of “GeeksforGeeks” text, for repeating the particular word, we use the JavaScript repeat() function as shown below the HTML code.
  • To darken the background in order to make the portrait appealing, use the background property along with setting the background-image using the url() function in CSS. To avoid the repetition of the image, set the background-repeat as no-repeat by placing the image at the center. For better visualization, reduce the space between the lines.
  • In order to print the background with the foreground text, we need to clip the text & add some styling properties such as background-size, font, etc.
