How to create a beautiful column collision section on Divi

Divi's scroll effects bring a ton of new design possibilities to the websites you create. The subtle interactions you choose to add can really help elevate the overall look of your Website. Everything gets even better as soon as you synchronize the scroll effects. In this tutorial, we'll specifically handle creating a nice colliding hero section with columns on scroll. The hero section design merges two different columns on the scroll, which in turn helps emphasize the copy.
