線形と放射状グラデーションはどちらを使うべき？
レイアウトの流れ・視線誘導・可読性で線形と放射状を選ぶための実践ガイドです。
好みよりも、コンテンツ構造に合う形を選ぶと判断が速くなります。
Use linear for directional layouts
Linear gradients naturally follow horizontal or vertical content flow.
They are easier to keep subtle across full-width sections.
Use radial for single focal areas
Radial gradients pull attention toward a center area.
Use them sparingly behind one message or one CTA block.
Avoid mixing both in one small region
Layering linear and radial gradients too closely can feel busy.
Choose one primary gradient behavior per component.
Run a readability check before finalizing
Always test heading, body text, and button states on top of the gradient.
- Normal text state
- Hover/focus state
- Mobile viewport
Common decisions
- Choosing hero section direction.
- Highlighting one CTA area.
- Reducing visual noise in content-heavy pages.
Match gradient shape to content structure
Use linear for flow and radial for focal emphasis, then validate with real content.
