Create grid gradient background












1















I want to create a gradient background like the background in the image below:



enter image description here



I have tried the solution in this post but the result is not satisfying.
As it can be seen in this picture, it seems that two radial gradient are applied together, if I reduce the number of colors(as it was suggested in the mentioned solution) I will have something like this:



enter image description here



which has curved boundaries for each color, But in the desired image the colors should be bounded by a linear grid. If I change the radial gradient to a linear one, an other problem would occur since the colors should be brighter in some areas in the radial fashion.



As it can be seen in the original picture, its like a gradient modifier is applied then the pixels of the image got enlarged! I have tried several other solutions(including drawing from scratch and it worked!) but I have yet to find an easy solution for this problem.

  • what have you tried? do the same as the answer you linked, but with radial gradients instead (in the image above it looks like there are 2 gradient centers)

Using Photoshop:



Start with a background with the size and resolution needed for the flyer:

Add a Gaussian Blur:

Menu Filter → Pixelate → Mosaic:

    You can try:




    • create an image with as much pixels as you want squares

    • apply a brush with low hardness (to produce blurred borders)

    • resize using Nearest Neighbor

      I'm just gonna toss this one up here - was working on this for a little bit whilst apparently this query got answered and accepted - and a good answer too.



      Mine's similar to @Luciano's, but I worked my approach entirely in Affinity Designer.



      First I made a base pixelated background document, very small, for-web, 26 pix wide, then laid out a background rectangle and two ellipses - coloured 'em and applied a gaussian blur to the two ellipses.



      enter image description here



      Turned on Pixel View to be sure it would look as I expected:



      enter image description here



      And it did:



      enter image description here



      Exported that 1:1 as a .png, and placed that into the background of a new Affinity Designer file I drew the layout and other vector design elements in: it's rough and unfinished, clearly, but you get the idea:

                                What other Star Trek series did the main TNG cast show up in?

I know Picard and Worf show up on DS9, though I haven't seen it myself. I'm curious what happened to the characters after that last episode of TNG? star-trek star-trek-tng share | improve this question edited 10 hours ago Ham Sandwich 6,051 2 25 75 ...

                                La berlina muro ĉe Bethaniendamm, 1986 La berlina muro aŭ simple la muro [1] , nomita ankaŭ "kontraŭfaŝisma remparo" en propaganda lingvo de la iama Germana Demokratia Respubliko, estis parto de la interngermana limo, kiu dividis de la 13-a de aŭgusto 1961 ĝis la 9-a de novembro 1989 okcidentan Berlinon de la orienta parto de la urbo kaj de la ĉirkaŭa tereno de la GDR. Ĝi estis unu el la plej famaj simboloj de la malvarma milito kaj de la disdivido de Germanio. Pli ol simpla muro, la berlina muro estis fakte tuta defendokonstruaĵo kun du muroj, ena malplena strio, rondirvojo, gardturoj kaj alarmsistemoj. Dum la provo transiri la severe garditan limon al okcidenta Berlino multaj homoj estis mortigitaj. La preciza nombro de viktimoj estas pridisputita kaj ne certa; la nombroj anoncataj varias inter 86 kaj 238 mortintoj. La malplifortiĝo de Sovetunio kaj la politiko de liberigo gvidita de Miĥail Gorbaĉov ebligis al la orientgermanoj faligi la 9-an de novembro 1989 l...
