You wouldn’t think that making gradients in Photoshop as a skill, but let me tell you that it’s quite easy to see the difference between a good gradient and a great one. In the sample above you’ll notice the lack of saturation and harshness in the “good” and “better” gradients and how natural and realistic the “best” gradient appears. 9rules Network’s Mike Rundle has a Gradient Tutorial to help you make more realistic, vibrant gradients.
