Create grid gradient background












1















I want to create a gradient background like the background in the image below:



enter image description here



I have tried the solution in this post but the result is not satisfying.
As it can be seen in this picture, it seems that two radial gradient are applied together, if I reduce the number of colors(as it was suggested in the mentioned solution) I will have something like this:



enter image description here



which has curved boundaries for each color, But in the desired image the colors should be bounded by a linear grid. If I change the radial gradient to a linear one, an other problem would occur since the colors should be brighter in some areas in the radial fashion.



As it can be seen in the original picture, its like a gradient modifier is applied then the pixels of the image got enlarged! I have tried several other solutions(including drawing from scratch and it worked!) but I have yet to find an easy solution for this problem.

  • what have you tried? do the same as the answer you linked, but with radial gradients instead (in the image above it looks like there are 2 gradient centers)

Using Photoshop:



Start with a background with the size and resolution needed for the flyer:

Add a Gaussian Blur:

Menu Filter → Pixelate → Mosaic:

    You can try:




    • create an image with as much pixels as you want squares

    • apply a brush with low hardness (to produce blurred borders)

    • resize using Nearest Neighbor

      I'm just gonna toss this one up here - was working on this for a little bit whilst apparently this query got answered and accepted - and a good answer too.



      Mine's similar to @Luciano's, but I worked my approach entirely in Affinity Designer.



      First I made a base pixelated background document, very small, for-web, 26 pix wide, then laid out a background rectangle and two ellipses - coloured 'em and applied a gaussian blur to the two ellipses.



      enter image description here



      Turned on Pixel View to be sure it would look as I expected:



      enter image description here



      And it did:



      enter image description here



      Exported that 1:1 as a .png, and placed that into the background of a new Affinity Designer file I drew the layout and other vector design elements in: it's rough and unfinished, clearly, but you get the idea:

                                up vote 0 down vote favorite I know this question already asked but not getting solution. From this code I will get all the information from the contact but image not found when open vcf files on mac os, also not getting when share this file. I use this stackoverflow link here but It's not help full. var contacts = [CNContact]() let keys = [CNContactVCardSerialization.descriptorForRequiredKeys() ] as [Any] let request = CNContactFetchRequest(keysToFetch: keys as! [CNKeyDescriptor]) do { try self.contactStore.enumerateContacts(with: request) { (contact, stop) in // Array containing all unified contacts from everywhere contacts.append(contact) } } catch { print("unable to fetch contacts") } do { let data = try

                                count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets

                                up vote 6 down vote favorite 1 This program is for count number of partitions of a set with n elements into k subsets I am confusing here return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); can some one explain what is happening here? why we are multiplying with k? NOTE->I know this is not the best way to calculate number of partitions that would be DP // A C++ program to count number of partitions // of a set with n elements into k subsets #include<iostream> using namespace std; // Returns count of different partitions of n // elements in k subsets int countP(int n, int k) { // Base cases if (n == 0 || k == 0 || k > n) return 0; if (k == 1 || k == n) return 1; // S(n+1, k) = k*S(n, k) + S(n, k-1) return k*countP(n-1, k) + countP(n-1, k-1); } // Driver program int ma

                                A CLEAN and SIMPLE way to add appendices to Table of Contents and bookmarks

                                Image
                                0 I found a lot of questions abount appendices and ToC. Many users want appendices to be grouped in an Appendix part, however some problems arise with ToC, hyperref, PDF viewer bookmarks, and so on. There are different solutions which require extra packages, command patching and other extra code, however none of them satisfies me. I almost found an easy way to accomplish a good result, where appendices are added to bookmarks in the right way and hyperref links point to the right page. However, the number of the "Appendix" part page is wrong (it's the number of appendix A). Is there any EASY way to fix that? This is a MWE: documentclass{book} usepackage[nottoc,notlot,notlof]{tocbibind} usepackage{hyperref} begin{document} frontmatter tableofcontents mainmatter part{First} chapter{
