: Putting text in front of one object and behind another object at the same time in illustrator I want to have one part of the text on the white triangle with it looking like it is disappearing

@Jamie315

I suggest using the pen tool to draw the shape of the area where you want the text to appear, then use that as a clipping mask. This is the most straightforward and easy way to do what you want, I think.

If you aren't familiar with clipping masks, here's a tutorial you might find useful.

Took me a while to understand your problem, but I think i've got it:

You have a white triangle on top of an image, or maybe the white triangle is part of the image? Anyway, you need to have your image contained inside a triangular shape. Construct the upper right triangle (the grey box symbolizes your image):



Now, select both the image and the triangle you just made, and choose Object/Clipping Mask/Make. This will transform the triangle (the uppermost object) to a mask containing your image:



Now you can place text behind the grey triangle:
