Introducing Two Brand New Design Settings For Divi
Create Stunning Backgrounds By Combining Colors, Gradients, Images, Masks And Patterns!
Today we are excited to introduce Backgrounds Masks and Background Patterns for Divi, two brand new design settings that allow you to create a vast array of new visual effects by combining colors, gradients, images, videos, masks and patterns using a simple new interface. There is a lot to share about these new settings, so keep reading for all the details!
Introducing Background Masks
Background masks use positive and negative space to frame backgrounds and create new shapes. Background masks are placed on top of your background elements and below you content. They work by framing your background colors, gradients, images, and videos; letting only those elements shine through the mask to reveal new shapes. This adds quite a bit of utility to Divi by allowing you to use backgrounds in brand new ways. You can transforming backgrounds into unique shapes that can interact with surrounding content. Masks are built using SVGs, so they are super crisp, lightweight and will automatically conform to the size of your elements.
Choose From 23 Unique Masks
Divi comes with a wide range of wonderful masks to choose from. Masks can also be flipped, rotated and inverted to create different variations. With a few clicks, you can take a rigid design and turn it into something really fun! Background masks can be applied to any element, including modules, columns, rows and sections.
Flip, Rotate, Invert, Change Orientation, Adjust Size And More!
Not only can you choose from 21 unique masks, but each mask can also be customized to create different variations. By flipping, rotating, and inverting masks, you can frame your backgrounds in a way that makes sense for the content that sits on top of your background. You can also choose from different orientations (portrait, landscape and square) to better fit each element. Finally, there are width, height and alignment options for times when you need fine-tuned control.
In addition to adjusting the shape of masks, you can also adjust their color and blend mode. Instead of masking your background completely, you can use blend modes to let your backgrounds and masks mix together to create some interesting new effects.
Introducing Background Patterns
Background Masks can be combined with Background Patterns. Patterns sit on top of your background colors, gradients and images, and below you masks. Patterns overlay your background elements and can be used to add texture to your page. Using background gradients, patterns and masks, you can often forgo using background images completely, resulting in faster, higher-resolution backgrounds that can be built from scratch inside of Divi. These two new options really open up a whole new realm of possibilities.
