You know what I think would be helpful... if you explain the reasoning WHY you would do something? Like when you first set up the background, with the gradients and you changed the sliders and added another slider. They all looked black, so I didn't really get why we would do that? Maybe I'm missing something from an earlier video?

[ChChCheckItsClan]

@tabithav84 Well, they're not all black... The middle slider is a dark purple-ish color. So it makes a soft gradient for you to place your text on. It basically makes the whole thing more interesting because plain black backgrounds are boring =P
