Step 3: Now, notice on the left-hand menubar, 'Gradient shape' at the top. Gradient shapes are different forms of regular and irregular shapes with a gradual blending from one color to another.

Why do you need gradients?

Well, let us ask ourselves why not? Gradients can make a world of difference to your designs because they look pleasing, trendy, and a welcome change from flat colors. If you think about it, flat colors do not exist in nature - it is always a combination of two or more colors that adds zest to a living or non-living thing.

Step 4: Click on 'See All' against the Gradient Shapes category. Then, choose from the multiple shape options that suit your design.
