How to add text overlay to collection images in new page

[bolsta]

Hi guys,

I have added a new page with some collections that I am wanting to use as PPC landing page. I got the instructions here https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/customization/collections/featuring-collections-using-link-lists

This worked really well. I just want to know how I can add text overlay to the images for the collection titles and remove the collection titles that appear below the collection images so the collection images look the same as my home page that has in-bedded text overlay on the collection images.

Thanks very much.

Hello bolsta,
Add this css at bottom of Online Store-> Themes -> Edit code->Assets->theme.scss.liquid
This will remove collection title.

h3.collection-grid-item__title {
 display: none;
}

Thanks mate. I think I didn't explain myself very well.

here is the link of the page in mention https://detectorsdirect.com.au/pages/waterproof-gold-metal-detectors-1

I'm hoping to remove the text below the collection images and then replace that text with a text overlay on the images so it looks the same as the collection images on the home page. Sorry for the confusion

Hello bolsta,
Ok now Add this css at bottom of Online Store-> Themes -> Edit code->Assets->theme.scss.liquid

#MainContent .collection-grid__item-title {
	position: absolute;
	top: 50%;
	left: 0;
	right: 0;
}
#MainContent .text-center {
	position: relative;
}
.collection-grid__item-title .collection-item__title {
	color: #fff;
	font-size: 24px;
	font-weight: 600;
}
