simple linear gradient overlay for an image to make it darker or lighter

i use this one often if i have a background image and some text over the top, you can darken or lighten the linear gradient values to match the text content and make it readable.

HTML

<p>Here is the normal gradient box with no overlay</p>
<div class='gradient-box'> 
Some text
</div>

<p>Gradient with dark overlay</p>
<div class='gradient-box dark-overlay'> 
Some text
</div>

<p>Gradient with light overlay</p>
<div class='gradient-box light-overlay'> 
Some text
</div>

CSS

.gradient-box {
margin-bottom:30px;
font-size:30px;
height:400px;
width:400px;
border-radius:3px;
padding:30px;
text-align:center;
color:#FFF;
background:url(https://kruxor.com/images/pexels-photo-4389409.jpeg) center no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
text-shadow:0px 1px 2px #000;
}
.dark-overlay {
background:linear-gradient( rgba(0,0,0,0.8), rgba(0,0,0,0.8) ), url(https://kruxor.com/images/pexels-photo-4389409.jpeg) center no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
}
.light-overlay {
background:linear-gradient( rgba(255,255,255,0.8), rgba(255,255,255,0.8) ), url(https://kruxor.com/images/pexels-photo-4389409.jpeg) center no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
color:#000;
text-shadow:0px 1px 2px #FFF;
}
