  • In this tutorial I’ll be demonstrating how to create seamless background patterns with Adobe Illustrator CC. The result will be a single square tile that can be repeated infinitely. This works great for use as a background on a website where a different number of tiles are used in order to render the backgrounds for various different screen resolutions.

    Amazing art and great, objective explanation.
    At the beginning, it was kinda weird to see you create circles or semi-circles, select and keep deleting almost all that you had created, but at the end we can see why.
    Props, dude! 😉👏

    This is a great tutorial. I had about a pixel off on some of the edges which was avoided by using the Transform > Reflect to get the desired direction. I don't know if this was due to the size I made my graphic but in case you run into that issue as well this worked to fix it.

    Thanks for the tutorial. But i think the shortcut from 8:30 was to drag the shape to swatches, then draw a rectangle and fill it with the pattern from swatches. Then Object-expand. Then right click to release clipping mask if necessary.

    Excellent tutorial, thanks for including all the keyboard shortcuts, they really help to speed things up. One of the shortcuts doesn't seem to work well though (holding the control key down continuously to reveal and drag anchor points). I have to release the control key or else it only moves the single anchor point that I've clicked on, perhaps Adobe made changes in the current version of Illustrator?

  • @simplydezigned5911
    @simplydezigned5911 Před 4 lety

    Love this idea as I'm learning to create patterns for fabric. I do have a question though what if I wanted to change the color on one of the designs or circles to give it a different look? How would I do that because you changed the red to black and I want to maybe keep that color or some other color.

    really cool design and detailed tutorial
    although I feel you could have saved a lot of time by
    a) keep pasting in place without copying
    and b) using the rotate and reflect tools (or just snapping graphics directly while you’re making copies)

      @nitinjaybhaye3977 Před 3 lety

      there are no white lines, it is a background, you can make a square underlayer (or create a square and send it to back) and fill in the color you want

I start with changing the rings to the color I want but once I do Object > Path > Outline Stroke + Object > Compound Path > Make it changes them all to the same color. What's the trick? Thanks in advance for the help!

    It is a beautiful and classic pattern. Thanks for sharing. I have one question. When you get a single tile and duplicate them via "create pattern", there is always a line between each tile. Is it common? Is there a way to remove it pls? Cheers.
