It\u2019s a known fact in the design<\/a> world that gradients never go out of style. Gradients have had the entire design community in a chokehold for the past five years as they\u2019ve been continuously listed in top trend articles from different industries such as fashion and interior design<\/a>.<\/h5>\n

This evergreen trend is the gradual blending of two or more colors. Here at Pixlr<\/a><\/span>, we want to push the boundaries by mixing the most unlikely colors<\/a><\/span> and turning them into a beautiful gradient.<\/p>\n

In today\u2019s article, we will show you how to create different variations of gradients and how to utilize them in your designs.<\/p>\n

Pixlr\u2019s Gradient Tool<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Go to Pixlr E<\/a><\/span> or X<\/a><\/span> and create an artboard. Once you do, select your image layer and click on the Gradient tool<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>From there, you can choose from a library of ready-made gradients<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or, you can customize and create your own by clicking on a colored anchor and changing the color on the color picker.<\/p>\n

How to Create A Linear Gradient<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a>Here, we want to create a sunset-like linear gradient<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

So, at the very left, we\u2019re going with a deep blue shade that represents the looming night sky.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then, we\u2019re going for a slight burgundy red.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next, we\u2019re opting for an orange shade that\u2019s reminiscent of a late afternoon sun ray.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally, a bright yellow balances out the dark blue on the other end of the spectrum, hence completing the linear gradient<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And there you have it, a beautiful sunset sky!<\/p>\n

How to Create A Radial Gradient<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

To create a seamless radial gradient, it\u2019s important to note that the color in the very center is a bright and vibrant one.<\/p>\n

Because if you do choose a darker hue, this is how your gradient will look like:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The colors are not blended well and seem very contradicting.<\/p>\n

Hence, we\u2019ve decided to go with a lighter and more saturated hue of purple.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now this is much better, is it not?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s another variation of a radial gradient<\/a><\/span>. Instead of having the bright radius at the top, this is close to the bottom.<\/p>\n

You can play around with the direction of the radial gradient simply by moving the anchor point around your artboard.<\/p>\n

Utilizing Gradients in Your Design<\/h3>\n

Fashion<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a>It is always interesting to incorporate gradients into fashion-related visual content<\/a><\/span>, matching the colors of the gradient to the tone, mood, and style of the outfits.<\/p>\n

Music<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gradients also work very well with music festivals, music events, live performances, etc<\/a><\/span>. The right gradient background will be able to set the vibe of a music festival poster.<\/p>\n

Just anything really!<\/h4>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gradients are suitable for YouTube<\/a><\/span> thumbnail art, Instagram stories, blog headers, magazine covers, and just about anything really.<\/p>\n
