Inspired to recreate the text effects as seen on the 
promo pages for Apple's new (2018-09-12) iPhone lineup, 
as seen at https://www.apple.com/iphone-xr/

This is refined a bit, but mostly literally lifting the
code/techniques straight from the page as-is. 

- The `-webkit` prefix is a good thing here. It allows
  for a better fallback for *very* old browsers. 
- You'll want to use a nice "chunky" font, if you want the 
  texture to show through well, as they pull off here. 
- Notice that the "white" header and text are inlined, 
  instead of their default `display: block`, so they can 
  get that striking white semantic heading in there. Clever!
- Don't forget that you can apply pure CSS gradients as 
  a background (instead of images), or other fancy things, 
  like video, gifs.

  text that falls outside of the background image will be 
  invisible, and that's not good.
