The process of applying a color progression to a shape or object is a fundamental design technique. Within Affinity Designer 2, this involves selecting the desired element and utilizing the Gradient Tool or the Fill panel to define a spectrum of colors that blend seamlessly across its surface. For instance, a rectangle can be transformed from a single solid color to a vibrant blend of hues, providing depth and visual interest.
Employing color transitions is crucial for enhancing visual communication and creating engaging designs. It allows for the simulation of light and shadow, adding dimension and realism to illustrations and user interfaces. This technique has roots in traditional art forms and has been adapted and refined within digital design, becoming an essential tool for creating modern, dynamic graphics.
