to around 10 or 15 seconds and then hit
0:55
okay now let's create background here in
0:58
the final composition go right click to
0:59
create create a new solid layer let's
1:01
rename this one to background hit okay
1:05
and then let's go here in the fact and
1:06
preset and add ramp effect if you can
1:09
find effects and pres just go window and
1:11
you will find effects and presets here
1:13
now type ramp effect then just drag and

drop here on the solid layer in our
1:18
final composition for the start of the
1:20
ramp go upper left corner for the end of
1:23

1:25
the first start color let's type here
1:28
0013 73 for this type of blue color and
1:33
for the end color let's type this hexa
1:35
code
1:37
020 to B and then also hit okay I will
1:42
close this effects control for now and
1:44
now let's create another solid layer go
1:46
right click find here new solid layer I
1:49
will call this one bubbles also 9020 by
1:52
1080 and then hit okay now let's add our
1:55

2:04
adjustments for the bubble amount let's

2:27
displacement let's go somewhere around
2:29
40 in every moment later on you can play
2:32
around with all of those options also
2:34
one important step is to change bump map
2:36
from bubbles to none and from the
2:38
property from lightness to luminance
2:41
okay and for the next effect let's add
2:43
here bevel Alpha okay also drag and drop
