find it here okay I'll go here in the
1:27
facts and preset type
1:29
ramp effect
1:31
drag and drop onto our background layer
1:34
and now it's time to make a few
1:36
adjustments for the start of the ramp uh
1:38
go upper left corner for the end of the
1:41
ramp code to right lower corner and we
1:46
will of course find our suitable colors
1:49
for this particular video tutorial I am
1:52
going to be choosing this dark blue
1:56
color you can also use eyedropper like
1:59
this and for the second color we will do
2:02
maybe slightly different one like this
2:05
for the first one maybe
2:07
a few adjustments even more
2:10
like so and now it's time also to add
2:13
our second effect find here noise hls
2:17
drag and drop here on our background
2:20
layer and for the Hue lightness and
2:22
saturation type
2:24
0.2 I will just copy it Ctrl C and then
2:28
paste it Control Plus V to just add a
2:32
little bit noise on our blue background
2:35
okay now let's create our first shape
2:38
hit Q on your keyboard or go here on
2:41
this rectangle tool icon uh left click
2:45
hold and then choose this ellipse tool
2:47
and we will draw just make sure to our
2:50
fill color is set to solid color solid
2:53
white okay and hold shift while you're
2:57
drawing the shape like this okay and now

I will rename it just hit enter I will
3:03
rename it to Circle
3:07
o1 like this okay then go again here in
3:10
the facts and preset find here ramp
3:13
effect drag and drop onto our Circle 01
3:16
and for the start and then color do like

again in the facts and preset filed here
3:43
drop shadow drag and drop onto our
3:45
Circle o1 and for the distance go around
3:49
40 softness to around 100 and now we
3:53
have this awesome looking shape like
3:56
this for the opacity go to around 30
3:59
percent and this is looking really cool
4:02
our next step is to create a movement
4:05
for our first Circle hit P for position
4:08
then hold alt on your keyboard and click
4:12
on this little stopwatch and type here
4:15
wiggle expression open and close bracket
4:19
1.50 and now when we hit 0 in our
4:23
timeline we have this cool little
4:25
movement of our Circle okay our next
4:29
step is to duplicate this circle o one
4:32
hit Ctrl D or go edit and then duplicate
4:35
and you can drag this second just make
4:40
sure to select it and you can drag on
4:43
the left or right side on our comp like
4:46
this just make sure to hit again here
4:49
and to adjust this ramp like this again
4:53
okay you can slap color if you want and
4:57
now we have this really cool gradient
5:00
okay also hit this little triangle here
5:03
then open this contents menu and then
5:06
open up this ellipse or one ellipse pad
5:09
and for the size you can play around to
5:11
maybe around 350.
5:13
it's up to you okay and also one next
5:17
the fact that we can add is to blur
5:20
effect I will find gaussian blur just
5:23
drag and drop on our Circle O2 and you
5:26
can play around with the blurriness to
5:28
maybe around 20 and this is looking
5:32
really cool to me okay
5:34
what we can do again is to duplicate
5:37
this once again Ctrl D hit V on your
5:41
keyboard and move this shape maybe
5:44
around here also hit W and then find
5:49
here a size to around maybe 100.
5:53
okay now we have maybe 130 this little
5:57
circle and for the blurriness go to
6:00
around five percent you can readjust in
6:03
every moment our shapes to around here
6:05
it's up to you okay now let's create our
6:09
first text here Control Plus t on your
6:11
keyboard or go here on this little icon
6:14
and I will type my first text
6:18
creative
6:19
okay make sure to move it on the right
6:23
side of our composition you can use
6:25
shift and right arrow on your keyboard
6:28
for the font I'm using this monster at
6:31
bold maybe to do extra bold or black
6:35
like this this is looking even better
6:37
like so move to the right just a bit
6:41
again
6:42
like this okay also we will duplicate
6:46
this creative text once again hit Ctrl D
6:49

now we will also create our third text
7:15
but before that let's create a new solid
7:18
layer right click go to new find here
7:20
solid layer I will rename it
7:23
text BG for now color doesn't matter for
7:27

layer make sure to select it just turn
7:34
off the visibility and then go again
7:37
here on our ellipse tool hold left click

and then just find here rectangle two
7:42
then again select this text background
7:45

8:18
and zoom it a little bit and of course
8:22
you will leave this background text
8:25
background size according your text size
8:27
