Photoshop tutorial demonstrates gradient circle composition techniques
A Photoshop tutorial published on November 20, 2022, provides step-by-step instructions for creating a visual composition using circles and gradients. The process begins by creating a new document with a black background and using the Ellipse Tool to draw circles. Layer Styles are applied to each circle with Gradient Overlay set to Angle style, using three color stops with varying opacities. The first circle uses blue and green gradients at -90 degrees, while duplicated circles are modified with different color combinations like blue-red and yellow-red at 90 degrees. After arranging multiple circles, layers are merged and Tilt-Shift Blur is applied from the Filter menu, with Blend Modes changed to Screen and Overlay. Additional noise is added through the Filters menu, and final touches include adding logos and optional Photo Filters. The tutorial notes that similar techniques can be achieved in other design tools like Figma, Illustrator, or Pixelmator. A variation with white backgrounds is suggested by adjusting fill opacity to 100%. The downloadable Photoshop file is available through the source publication.
