📌 Why this matters
Making shapes transparent lets you create sophisticated layered designs without completely removing visual elements. You can overlay text on images while maintaining readability, build depth by stacking multiple transparent shapes, or create subtle background effects that don't overpower your content. Beyond basic transparency, this technique opens up professional design possibilities like creating custom watermarks, highlighting specific areas without blocking underlying content, or building complex infographics where multiple data layers need to coexist seamlessly on the same slide.
