Just learnt out how those fancy gradient-tube designs are made. You just repeat enough simple circles with a gradient fill along a path to make it look like tube. And then why not add some more transformations along the way? #paragraphic

#paragraphic tip of the day:
When using the Apply layer node to create #halftone patterns or other effects, don't forget you can also sample group layers. This allows you to combine multiple layers (noise, shapes, images, gradients etc) in this group to then generate the design based on.

The DNS servers of the hosting company used for paragraphic.design are currently down, apparently due to a large scale DDOS hacking attack. This has made the site unreachable the last couple of hours. The hosting company is working on it and the situation should hopefully be resolved eventually.
