Making Patterns
Tuesday, January 09, 2007 12:26 PM
Tessellating patterns have always been an interesting problem to me. Usually, when I want something to tessellate, I'd just be lazy and use Flaming Pear's Tesselation plug-in. However, it doesn't allow for complete control over how you want the image to tessellate, and how it looks like in the end. Besides, I find wallpaper-like patterns to be more interesting and challenging. It's a step away from relying on stock images, and I would like to see my graphics have more elements of my own making.
I used Illustrator to create the pattern and Photoshop to complete it (symmetrically) and then tessellated it.It's nothing special or complicated. Heck, it only has two colors. But it's a start on thinking about the problems and challenges in tessellation.
