Radial Gradient
Radial: a circle gradient where the color starts off in the center and fades out along the edge. This could be another color, or a fade to transparent.
Step 1: Select the desired shape
First, select the shape you want to apply the radial gradient to. You can do this by clicking on the shape in the Layers panel and dragging it to the canvas.
Step 2: Create a radial gradient
To create a radial gradient, select the shape you want to apply the gradient to and click on the “Radial Gradient” option in the Color panel.
Step 3: Modify the gradient
Once you’ve selected the radial gradient, you can modify it by adjusting the parameters in the Gradient Editor. Here, you can adjust the colors of the gradient, add multiple stops, or adjust the size and position of the gradient.
Step 4: Adjust the gradient’s size and position
Once you’ve applied the radial gradient to the shape, you can still adjust its size and position by clicking and dragging the handles that appear on the shape. You can also adjust the angle of the gradient by clicking and dragging the circular arrow icon.
Step 5: Save your design
Once you’re happy with the results, Figma will save automatically. And that’s it! You now know how to create a radial gradient in Figma. Radial gradients are a great way to add depth and interest to your designs. Have fun experimenting with different colors and shapes to create unique and eye-catching designs!
Create a Background with Radial Gradient
Radial gradient backgrounds are a great way to add visual interest to your website. They can be used to create an eye-catching backdrop for text or images, or to create a more immersive experience for your visitors.
This tutorial is going to focus on making a background that is inspired by Apple's Ventura background. To follow this tutorial, you will need the asset provided. These are shapes that are already made. We will only focus on radial gradients.
Step 1
The first step is to download the asset . To do this, click the link. Once you've downloaded the file, open it. Next, select Vector 1.
Step 2
- Select Vector 1 and click on the Fill option in the Properties Panel.
- Select the Radial Gradient option from the drop-down menu.
- You will see a radial gradient appear in the shape. To adjust the gradient, click on the Color Stop.
- To add another color, click on the Color Stop and select a color from the Color Picker.
- Add 4 colors: #FFB13A, #DB3A31, #E03F2F, #E03F2F.
- To change the position of the gradient, click and drag the circle to move it around the canvas. You can also adjust the size of the gradient by clicking and dragging the outer circle. (See the image below)
- Once you are happy with the gradient, click on the Close button.
- Add a second radial with 2 colors, #FFB73E and #FFB73E.
- You can also adjust the opacity of each color stop.
- Set the second color to 0% opacity.
- Add Stroke: #FFA72A, alignment inside and 2 thickness.
- Add Inner Shadow: set the color to #FFA72A and set the blur to 40.
Step 3
Note: We'll repeat steps like stroke and inner shadow that we've already done.
- Select Vector 2 and click on the Fill option in the Properties Panel.
- Select the Radial Gradient option from the drop-down menu..
- Add 3 colors: #FFB13A, #DB3A31, 0% opacity and #DB3A31 .
- Click and drag the circle to move it around the canvas. Adjust the size of the gradient by clicking and dragging the outer circle. (See the image below)
- Once you are happy with the gradient, click on the Close button.
- Add Stroke: #FFA72A, alignment inside and 2 thickness.
- Add Inner Shadow: set the color to #FFA72A and set the blur to 40.
Step 4
- Select Vector 3 and click on the Fill option in the Properties Panel.
- Select the Radial Gradient option from the drop-down menu.
- Add 3 colors: #992DFB, 0% opacity, #992DFB and #992DFB.
- Adjust the gradient’s size and position.
- Go to Layer panel and **Select the **Color dodge option from the drop-down menu.
- Set layer opacity to 50%.
- Go to Effects panel and click on Layer blur. Set layer blur to 20.
Step 5
- Select Vector 4 and click on the Fill option in the Properties Panel.
- Select the Radial Gradient option from the drop-down menu.
- Add 4 colors: #FFB13A, #DF4732, #FE5C24 and 40% opacity.
- Adjust the gradient’s size and position. (See the image below)
- Add a second radial with 2 colors: #FFD541 #FFD541 and 0% opacity.
- Adjust the gradient’s size and position. (See the image below)
- Add Stroke: #FFA72A, alignment inside and 2 thickness.
- Add Inner Shadow: set the color to #FFA72A and set the blur to 40.
Step 6
- Select Vector 5 and click on the Fill option in the Properties Panel.
- Select the Radial Gradient option from the drop-down menu.
- Add 3 colors: #BB4941, 0% opacity, #BB4941 and #FE5D1D.
- Adjust the gradient’s size and position. (See the image below)
