Tutorial: How to Make Simple Repeats for Designs

5/7/2011

 
Here goes - I've been asked how I do repeats.  Over time and working with both basic (= free or cheap) and more elaborate (= pricey) graphics packages, I developed my own easy to remember and totally transportable method.  I use Adobe Fireworks and Microsoft Powerpoint.

Hi, I'm new to spoonflower. I always look at your comments and am interested in what you are doing. I need so much help understanding repeats. It stops me from being creative and I sometimes feel that there are sooo many surface designers I could give up! Can you explain doing a repeats in Adobe ai...or photoshop. HELP!

Thanks for asking. I don't work in Adobe AI or Photoshop enough right now to create instructions for them but I do have the software and will look into creating instructions. Have you checked out the Spoonflower forum on Flickr? Some artists have posted instructions for creating repeats in AI there.

Thanks for your reply. I will wait for your instructions in Ai or photoshop. Most tutorials tell you how to do the simple random look. I get that. What I can't figure out is a more symmetrical, even design!!
