A 2x2 set of grainy radial wave gradients labeled Level 1 to 4, each a different hue, reading as a tiered background or surface system.
Summary
A four-up background system where each panel is a grainy concentric wave gradient in a distinct hue, labeled Level 1 through 4 to imply an escalating tier or state scale.
Visual description
Four equal landscape panels in a 2x2 grid on a pale off-white page. Each shares the same motif: soft concentric arcs of light sweeping out of a darker field, with a fine film-grain noise that keeps the gradients from banding. Top-left (Level 1) is near-black with a single pale arc bleeding in from the right. Top-right (Level 2) is a calm steel blue with a smooth diagonal lightening. Bottom-left (Level 3) is a deep forest green with bright concentric ripples. Bottom-right (Level 4) is a muted teal with the same ripple rings, lightest of the set. Small white sans-serif labels sit in the upper-left of each panel.
Key takeaway
Treating gradients as a labeled system rather than one-offs: the same wave-and-grain recipe recolored per hue gives instant visual cohesion, and the Level 1 to 4 naming turns decorative backgrounds into a usable scale for states, tiers, or sections.
Reuse notes
Good source material for app or deck backgrounds, section dividers, or a tiered plan/status visual where each level needs its own color but a shared texture. The grain is doing real work against banding; keep it when exporting. No type system here, so pair with a clean sans for any overlaid copy.
