Design with Linear Gradient Effect Background

Gradient Tool in implementation

- Choose colors as primary and secondary color.

- Create a gradient texture for the background from CarpeTools>>Create>> Texture>>Gradient.

- Try the different options offered by it.

* Texture created by the gradient is not graphable as is it not a solid patch of color it is only for demonstration.

- Create a new layer

- Select Selection Gradient Tool

- Choose linear option

- Fix the gradient steps

Managing a layer

- Place the layer with design on the top layer.

- Place the Gradient texture at the middle layer.

- Place the Gradient at bottom layer.

* Generally gradient tool is used to create a solid patch of color for graph where mix ply is applied for gradient effect.

* Layer with gradient texture is not for graph. So make sure that the layer is off while printing a graph.
