Create cool abstracts for design in less than a minute using the Blender

You don't have to buy stock abstracts at all! Besides costing money, they're not unique. Thousands of designers have already used them!  

I'll show you how to create unique abstract backgrounds for websites, banners or even amazing interior prints less than in a minute!

1. Create a cube or plane.

This shape will be used as the canvas on which our picture will appear. Select the desired size and aspect ratio at your own discretion.

2. Create a camera and area light

Put the camera right above the canvas and place the area light behind it to get even exposure. However, you can play with camera angle and light position to get interesting results.

3. Let the node-magic begins! ;)

— Create Principled BSDF shader

— Connect ColorRamp node to Base Color

— Create Wave Texture node and connect to ColorRamp Input

— Create Voronoi Texture and connect to Wave texture Vector In

And few final tweaks. Try different values to get variations!

— Switch Voronoi node to Minkowski, adjust Scale and Exp

— Set ColorRamp mode to B-Spline and add some colors

— RENDER with Eevee or Cycles

Thats it, guys!

5 Killer tips for selling banner ads design

1. Pick easy-to-read fonts only!

Yes, I know sometimes it is very tempting to choose beautiful decorative fonts, especially for newbies. To be honest, I've made the same mistakes myself ;)

Decorative fonts are great for a logo, but for everything else you should use fonts that are comfortable to read.

Good typography is the key to easily accessible information, whereas with poor typography you have to make an effort to understand the text.

We got just a couple of seconds for the user to make a decision to click on the banner. And properly designed text will help with that!

2. Choose the right photos!

The goal of a photo or illustration is to evoke the right emotion in the visitor's mind. That's why you shouldn't take the first picture you see!

If we make a banner for an affiliate program, it makes sense to show a happy webmaster who has just received a timely and solid payment from AP ;) Sometimes it takes 2-3 hours to choose the best photo from a set, but trust me, it's worth it!

3. Use the colours of website

In most cases, it is worth sticking to the color scheme used on the advertised paysite or an affiliate program site.

Of course, you can experiment sometimes, but you should do it very carefully!

4. Prepare the text variations

Usually, you’ll have to make a batch of banners with different aspect ratios: horizontal, vertical and recip buttons.

So, it makes sense to prepare variations of the text for all of them.

5. Choose the right animation speed

If you make an animated banner, keep in mind that each frame must display for a minimum of two seconds.

It is common requirement of banner networks, so your ad will not pass moderation if it blinks too fast.

Thats it, guys!
