How to Make Gradients in Figma
Hi, everyone. I'm gonna show you how to make gradients in fig A. We're gonna do nice subtle gradients. In my opinion, we're gonna build a time machine. Go back in time to the eighties and make this gradient and then uh we'll make round ones that are really, really bad. I'll also show you how to change the background color. You're like oh the background's dark. How do you do that? All right. Let's jump in gradient time. OK to make a gradient, draw a rectangle. I'm gonna do it on my mobile. Hi fi product details. Page cos I need it for later. OK? And I'm gonna drag out a rectangle any odd size and to change it to have a gradient from a fill. Click on this part. OK. Actually click on the little uh square there and go from solid to either one of these. OK. So linear is gonna be that radio is a round one angular uh I don't use any of them except for linear or radio. So we're going to use linear in this case and let's talk about how to adjust it. OK. So click on either one of these. OK. To a...
djust the beginning or the end and drag this around, drag the hue slider, find something you like click on this side. This one by default is a color but the transparency is down at zero. OK. Can you see the difference? OK. So this one can be see through. I don't want it. I want the transparency all the way up, clicked on it and I can drag it around and pick the world's worst gradient. Is it the world's worst? Actually, I've done worse better anyway. Um So that's it. You can adjust it by dragging these points. OK. The beginning and end depending on what kind of gradient in the direction you want. OK. Uh Same with radio grab this. You can have your beginning and end point and see that dot There. It doesn't make a lot of difference when you are doing the linear one, but radio one, you can make it circular, look at that C gradient and maybe make it nice and big so that it's kind of circular kind of more lofty anyway, that's how to make ingredient to carry on with this course though. I want to make ingredient based on. Yeah, some of my uh color palettes that I had before. So if you just came for ingredients, that's enough. If you want to carry on with the course, I'm gonna show a few little extra bits. Um uh note as well. You can add ingredient to rectangles into our actual um let's come out of that. Let's click on home page. Let's say you want a background ingredient in your frame. You don't have to draw a rectangle and put it at the back. You can actually just, I will do it to this one. Cos it's already got something in it, which is if I click the background details, even though it's kind of above rectangle watch this, I can change the fill to linear and it's still behind it. OK? And in this case, I'm gonna want to do like I'm gonna use my interface um you know, kind of color. Remember that white or off white I made OK? So the top here it's full white, it might go to something like this and down the bottom transparency up. I'm gonna pick something that's just a little bit more Taka. Is it good? It's not good? OK. And when you are dealing with kind of light colored backgrounds, you can change the background of the actual application in fig A. So fig A you can just have nothing selected. So click off in the background, you can see the background here. It won't change anything to do with your mock up. OK? But it's just like a way of going OK? I want this to be, you know, darker so I can see the contrast and here nicer but it does nothing to the kind of uh presentation you won't see the background. Well, yeah. There's nothing on this page. Where's my other page there? It is there. So that background color is just for your own viewing pleasure. What I'm gonna do now is I'm gonna bring in my color palette. What did I do with it? I did it on the desktop because I said we're gonna work on desktop. Changed my mind. We're gonna copy this and I'm gonna bring it over to my actually gonna cut it and bring it over to my mobile wi uh Hi Fi, I'm gonna zoom out. I'm gonna paste it up here and I'm gonna put it up there. Now, the problem with it up here a it's too big. It's nice and small and it is just sitting in the root directory. OK. Ruining my lovely kind of layers panel. So what I'm gonna do with them all selected, right, click any of them and say frame that selection and now they're all just tidy. They're in there still. But now they're all I said tidy. I'm gonna call this one color palette. Is that color palette? I think there's too many L's. Ah, I don't care enough. And so yes, there is my color palette and I'm going to pick a gradient probably based on some of this. I have no idea how this is going to go. Let's have a go at it. So let's go in here. It'll show you how I can go this color. I want to get from Uh Yeah. And then this color I want to get from the eyedropper tool from there. It's horrible. Is it horrible? Yeah, it gets muddy in the middle there, right? Ok. Let's try one more. I'm ok with it. What I'm probably gonna do is probably grab that and go you ink. So it's there, there's hints of it but it's not there. And I'm gonna add this to my, uh color space. So I kind of duplicated it. I want it to be the same size as this. What is it? 52 by 52. You can manually type these things in 52 by zoom in. So I'm gonna use that my gradient. I might create a couple more gradients that I'll use for buttons and stuff. But I don't know, I feel like gradients might be, it might be coming out of me put gradients in everything like the last 10 years. Um The other thing you can do is if you're using something like gradient, OK. I showed you that and you might be like, oh I love, wow. Who uses that anyway? Uh Let's find one that has three colors that are good. OK. Uh The eighties wants to know where its gradient is here. It is uh nineties eighties that crossover maybe so you can copy and paste these and I want to show you how you add more than one color. Let's say that you do love that. OK? And you're gonna go, I use one more gradient. I feel like these need be separated. So I'm gonna go this, I'm gonna go linear. I'm going to drag it back to something normal as in just straight up and down. OK? And what I want to do at the top here is just paste in my hex code. OK? And there, so there's that first one. OK. I'm gonna put the end one in and then you're gonna ask, how do I put a third one in? Oh Good, glad you asked. OK. Look at this one here. Paste it into hicks and then kind of just did it for us, but it gets a bit muddy in here. So the designer has gone and picked uh a nice intermediary color. So all you need to do is just click once you can have as many of these points as you like, I'm going to have three. There it is. But you can add more OK up to you. So that is gradients. That is enough. I will see you in the next video.
