Beginner Tutorial: Creating Mesh Gradients in Figma

🔑 Mesh gradients have become a standard in UI design, used by major companies and startups to enhance their designs.

📐 Creating mesh gradients is a simple process that involves a few steps, starting with creating the shapes that determine the structure of the gradient.

🔍 Using the zoom tool, you can easily add and manipulate shapes to create unique mesh gradients in Figma.

🎨 Create mesh gradients by duplicating and resizing shapes, changing colors, and adjusting the background.

🌈 Assign colors from a palette to the mesh gradients by copying and changing the hue.

👩‍💻 Follow a step-by-step process to create mesh gradients in Figma.

🎨 Applying colors to shapes to create a base design.

✨ Applying blurs to merge shapes and create a mesh gradient effect.

🌟 Optional step to enhance the design further.

🔍 Texture is added to the design using an image found in the Figma community, which is placed on top of everything and given opacity and an overlay blend.

✨ Spots are created by adding a blurred rectangle with a specific color to the design.

🎨 Adjust the starting point and blend mode to create mesh gradients in Figma.

🌈 Experiment with colors and blur to customize the appearance of the mesh gradient.

💡 Add a shine effect using the Inner Shadow option in the effects menu.

1️⃣ Creating a mesh gradient in Figma can enhance the intensity and visual appeal of designs.

2️⃣ To create a mesh gradient manually, adjust the color intensity and direction of the gradient layers.

3️⃣ There are plugins available in Figma, like 'Mesh Gradient,' that can assist in creating custom mesh gradients and provide randomized results.

🔑 Creating mesh gradients in Figma allows you to enhance designs beyond basic colors.

💡 Using a do-it-yourself method for mesh gradients in Figma provides more flexibility than using a pre-designed PNG image.
