Gradient Generator

A CSS gradient generator that randomly generates (mostly) beautiful gradients in a variety of different styles and formats

Background

I've always loved generative art and had been looking for way to jump in and give it a go. After seeing a Tweet from Sketch about their method for creating gradients, I was inspired and jumped straight into Codepen to experiment.

With a healthy dose of CSS doing the heavy lifting and a sprinkling of Javascript to handle the randomisation, I had something up-and-running that I could spend hours looking at.
