Some background explorations for a project I'm working on at the moment. These were built using the new shader effects in Figma.
These are so cool!
Thank you!
Really good and artistic looking backgrounds. Figma shaders really are the bomb!
Thanks! They really are 🙌
The halftone texture layered over the gradient blobs gives it a printed poster feel instead of the usual smooth glassy shader look. Are you controlling that dot pattern with a texture map inside the shader, or is it a separate layer on top?
Yes! I built the gradients first with layer blurs, then added two different shaders: a warp for distortion and a dither for texture.

Web concept for bem. The product turns messy documents into structured data, so the brand does the same thing visually. Every image dissolves into pixels, every layout resolves back into grid.
How did you first come up with the idea to use pixel dissolution to represent unstructured data? Did you explore any other visual metaphors before landing on this one?
I already shared the first concept a few days ago, but I couldn’t stop exploring 😅
So here’s an alternative direction.
Which one would you pick?

Nice work as usual! The layout balance here is exactly what makes high-converting landing page hero sections work.
