![]() ![]() The thing is, you don’t want to start too small. In Photoshop it really DOES MATTER what size you start with. This is a very important factor. I won’t go into too much more detail with wallpaper, as I don’t want to overwhelm you! ![]() But if you are ever working with a wallpaper company, they’ll tell you the specification you need to work to. Yes, there are certain constraints with different applications. ![]() I have created repeat patterns for over 200 brands and NOT ONCE have I had to create a repeat as a perfect square. There is a misconception out there that every repeat pattern has to be a square. YOU DO NOT HAVE TO CREATE A PATTERN REPEAT AS A SQUARE! Let me just bust a BIG FAT MYTH for you right here and now…. This dilemma will leave you feeling unsure about what you’ve tried to create, or want to create, leaving doubt in your mind, which is NOT the energy you want to sit in when trying to create beautiful work! Your intention is to create a repeat pattern in Illustrator or Photoshop (Remember: pixel-based paintings are for Photoshop, vector-based solid shapes are for Illustrator) but you don’t really know what size your page/artboard should be because you don’t want the pattern to be too small or too large, right? You’ve painted or drawn some elements for a pattern. This is a question I see a lot from our course students! Whether you are starting on a pattern design for a client, or just for your library, how do you know what size to even create it!?!?!?! I hear ya! ![]()
