Created by LA-based designer, Vladimir Kudinov, Hue: Free Promo Backdrops and Gradients is a collection of 49 backdrops and gradients that lend atmosphere to layouts and product shots. The collection is photo-realistic, blending seamlessly with product photographs; and reminiscent of Scandinavian design, with cool greys and warm pastels dominating. The atmospheric Wolverine, the stylish Golden Leaf, and the calm Milky Way are particular favourites.
Designed for use in Sketch, the files are supplied as a .sketch file; however 2800px by 2000px PNG files are also provided for each gradient, so Photoshop and Affinity Photo devotees will find them equally usable. The Hue collection is free for both personal and commercial use.
