Some headers in the My Favorite Things video I created seem very simple... but do you know how I actually create them? It is actually somewhat complex! Each title was a different layer (shown to the left) and I used the gradient tool to create the backgrounds behind the text. A simple gradient on its own is what it looks like when two colors simply fade into one, but that would be too bland to add to the video. Instead, I used the difference mode on the gradient tool, which gives it a very interesting, almost web-like background by switching the contrast with each stroke.
