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:

                                Knooppunt Holsloot

                                Knooppunt Holsloot Kenmerken Wegen A37 × N34 Type knooppunt klaverblad Portaal     Verkeer & Vervoer Knooppunt Holsloot is een verkeersknooppunt op de kruising van de autosnelweg A37 en de N34 in Drenthe, tussen Emmen en Coevorden. Oorspronkelijk was deze aansluiting een afritconstructie van het type Haarlemmermeeraansluiting, zoals bij Knooppunt Hooipolder. Sinds 2002 is het knooppunt omgebouwd tot een volledig klaverblad. Als noviteit werd hier voor het eerst gebruikgemaakt van dimbare verlichting in plaats van de normale vaste tijden waarop de verlichting aan en uit gaat, wat een grote kostenbesparing opleverde. [1] Dat Holsloot als volwaardig knooppunt is uitgevoerd, waarbij alle verkeersstromen en afbuigingen ononderbroken kunnen doorgaan, is uitzonderlijk. Het betreft hier namelijk een aansluiting tussen een autosnelweg en niet-snelweg. Een vergelijkbare situatie treft men nabij Hoensbroek bij het knooppunt Ten Esschen.     Aa

                                Een afbeelding van de Gregoriusmis uit een getijdenboek gemaakt in de zuidelijke Nederlanden tussen 1500 en 1525 Gregoriusmis, Meester van het Akense Altaar, ca. 1500-1525. Collectie Museum Catharijneconvent De Gregoriusmis of de Mis van Sint Gregorius is een motief in katholieke kunst, dat het eerst verscheen in de late Middeleeuwen en dat nog steeds werd gebruikt tijdens de contrareformatie. Paus Gregorius I (ca. 540-604) is afgebeeld, de H. Mis opdragend, terwijl Christus als de Man van Smarten verschijnt op het altaar dat voor Sint Gregorius staat. Volgens de legende had St. Gregorius gebeden om een teken voor een betwijfelaar van de transsubstantiatieleer, waarop de lijdende Christus tijdens het opdragen van de Mis verscheen om hem te overtuigen en waarbij zijn bloed in de altaarkelk liep. Vaak zijn ook de passiewerktuigen afgebeeld. Zie de categorie Mass of Saint Gregory van Wikimedia Commons voor mediabestanden over dit onderwerp. This page is onl
