All right, this video is all about Gradients.
We're going to add this Linear Gradient here.
I'm going to show you a couple of places where to get good gradient ideas.
Cool ones you can borrow, using your own designs.
We love gradients.
All right, gradient time.
So we're going to do to this top box here.
With it selected, I click on 'Fill'.
Then hide it, in here it says 'Solid Color'.
We'll start with 'Linear Gradient'.
I'll show you Radial Gradients, not a big secret.
But we're going to use Linear Gradient in this case.
And you can do a couple of things.
You can adjust both the color and the angle here, by just dragging it.
Can you see, I can drag the end, I can drag this end.
You can decide where it's going to go.
It might go this way, I'm going to go straight up and down.
So I'm going to undo, put it back to where it was.
You can change the colors by double clicking them.
Actually you don't need to double click.
Just click on them once to identify which color you're dealing with...
then you can drag it around here, you might use your Swatches.
I'm going to click this one, this one, start with the gradients.
You can also click them up here as well, and pick them.
So up to you, I want to have--
What do I want? I want the blue at the top...
and the green at the bottom.
What I might do is actually just drag this one a little bit back past.
You can see, it can't be seen, that blue, I just want to--
maybe a bit stronger, the way I had it, yeah, that's what I'm looking for.
One thing I will show you if you are going to use, say Radial Gradient.
Radial Gradients are fine, there's gems in here, and you're like...
"Where am I ever going to use that?"
What you can do with this one is - I quite like them.
- there's two things you can do.
You've got that, which is the edge, and you can do the angle.
It's the center point.
So set up at the center point there, make it quite white.
This one here, we'll design a shape.
So you can do stuff like this.
I like, often kind of big wafty gradients like that.
So it's less of a linear one...
and you can do things like this.
Actually I want to switch those two around...
so I want that to be the green lighter one...
that to be the darker one.
I don't know, you with me?
Can you feel me, what I'm doing there? It's this kind of like subtle gradient.
I like it when it's a Radial one as well...
because it's just kind of tucked, you know where it is...
just kind of doing its thing.
I'm going to undo it because I want a real big obvious Linear Gradient.
Undo, undo, undo, here we are.
Now getting ideas for gradients-- gradients are in at the moment...
they might not be when you're watching this video, you might hate gradients.
I'll show you a couple of places.
This is a pretty cool site for getting ideas for gradients.
So you might go in and say, "Ah, I really like this one."
We've got a few pages of it, it's Grabient.
And yeah, you might decide these colors are for you, click on it.
And there's your Hexadecimal number.
Paste it in here, click on this one, click on this one.
Hit 'Return', and you can just copy this to it.
Cool, huh?
So Grabient's a nice place.
The other thing you might do is--
We looked at our kind of places for inspiration for Mood Boards.
You'll find really cool ideas for gradients in here as well.
So either Dribbble, Niice, or Behance.
You'll see just really nice gradients in there.
Remember, in the previous videos we looked at...
grabbing the Eyedropper Tool just to steal colors.
So take a screenshot, and just steal the colors directly from it.
I just want to show you Laracasts, it's a tutorial website.
Showing you how to use PHP Framework called Laracast.
That's not the reason I'm showing you. I just really like the gradients.
Had a look at this, and I was like, "Ooh," add to favorites.
Just a really nice kind of use of, maybe not as, like...
there are very similar colors, so nice kind of transition.
I love the design of this one.
All right, that's it for gradients.
Let's get into the next video.
Hi there, I hope you enjoyed the video.
My name is Daniel Scott.
If you would like to do the full course...
there will be a link in the description for that.
Please give this video, on YouTube here...
a thumbs up, really helps me in what I'm doing.

I release a video like this every week, for your viewing pleasure.
All right, bye.
