Choose the Best Background 4

Welcome! This is another entry in our series on Choosing the Best Backgrounds using Venus® 1500 v4. Today we will show you how to use gradients.

GRADIENTS

Using gradients is a great way to add color to your background and really make it stand out. First, go to the Format Tab and choose a Background Color.

Next, choose a Gradient Fill and an additional color.

Now, look at your results!

Center option

You can also select a different format for the gradient by choosing your preferred pattern. Our example is the center option.

You can also select Format Background to add Stops to choose from additional colors and orientations. Stops give you the ability to add more colors to your gradient. Choose the color for each stop from the dropdown. Drag the stop to increase or decrease the area the color will use.
