Gradients

Gradients are an essential part of creating the Shard Labs atmosphere. They should be used subtly and consistently.

Step 1: Create an Ellipse

Create a narrow ellipse and rotate it. Choose two, and only two, colors from the accent palette above. When in doubt, refer to the recommended combinations below.

Step 2: Blur it

Depending on the size of the ellipse and the software you’re using, set the blur anywhere between 100-200 pixels.

Step 3: Set opacity to 25%

Set the opacity of your ellipse to 25%. In some cases, gradients can be used at 50% opacity. But the goal is to be subtle.

Using the Gradient

The gradients can be used in the midst of a layout

Container Frame

Use the gradient to subtly define the edges of a content area.
