Tons of Seamless Vector Patterns at BittBox
As you may or may not have noticed from following my posts, BittBox is one of my favorite spots on the interwebs. This last week has seen not one, nor two, but THREE posts regarding seamless vector patterns. They begin by sharing a seamless vector star pattern. A pretty simple and cool pattern that is a great addition to anyones illustrator pattern swatch.
If you are looking to beef up your swatch with even more patterns, they released another 5 seamless vector patterns on Thursday. This set contains two circle patterns, a diamond pattern, and two more star patterns. Also in that article is a reference to a great vector program called InkScape, which blows Illustrator out of the water when it comes to tracing, and best of all, it’s free!
The most recent post about vector patterns, is certainly my favorite. Instead of just giving them to you, or showing you how to make them, The Power (and ease) of Patterns in Illustrator shows you what to do with them. The author shows you how to warp them, use them as a stroke, fill objects and create a pattern from a path. A really powerful tutorial that picks up where most other tutorial websites leave off.
Have you made any patterns? Show us how you have used and implemented them in your designs. Post/discuss here!
