How to create repeating pattern in Adobe Illustrator CS6

Really being creative Designer , , , , , , ,
Pattern designs are awesome. They make the perfect background for any design project. However, the process can be really intimidating. No not with Adobe Illustrator. let's see How to create a seamless pattern in Adobe Illustrator.


In this tutorial you will learn 
  • How to make pattern in Illustrator
  • How to make a pattern swatch in illustrator

Let's get started and see how to create repeating pattern in adobe illustrator cs6 step by step,


1) Create the pattern that you want. For example, I created this. 
2) Select all and drag it into the swatches panel. This will create a new swatch. You can now apply it to any shape or fill. I created this square and applied the new swatch as fill. 



3) Now double click on the swatch that you just created. It will open the pattern in the artboard. Here now we will adjust the pattern. 


 
 a) First I will adjust and reposition the shapes as I like. Then in the patterns options, I have adjusted the width and height. For me, the width is 96 and the height is 76. Width adjusts the spacing between the pattern block horizontally and height vertically. 


b) You have your pattern ready. Now you can have variations of it by changing how the pattern tiles. So by changing the tile type to brick by row you get a different pattern. Here the pattern tiles by row.


c) Then changing the tile type to brick by column you get a different pattern. Here the pattern tiles by column.



d) Adjust the width and height when you are happy with the pattern click on Done at the top of the window.


You have a repeating pattern as simple as that. Just in 2-3 steps, your seamless repeating pattern is ready. Creating a seamless pattern requires RND. you have to use the tile option in the pattern options to get the perfect pattern. So just play around with the setting and you will eventually get the perfect pattern. 

However, if you need readymade patterns do check out Envato and CreativeMarket as they have a huge collection that will fit your every design need.

 Adding in your Listing: This involves quite a few steps that you must fill in carefully. This is where you enter all the details that will be visible on your sales page and where you set the price and delivery options of your items. All the fields are self-explanatory I will go through them in brief.


1) The first thing is the name of your listing. This is the most important part. Choose your name so that it includes all the keywords that your buyers will search for.

6) Description: Here give a complete description of your item. Give every single detail that your buyer must know. If you are selling Digital artwork make a clear statement that you are selling digital artwork and no physical item will be shipped. then you have section, material and tags those are optional as well.

How to create Pixel Stretch Effect In Photoshop

Really being creative Designer , , , , , ,
Pixel Stretch Effect is an awesome effect you may have seen everywhere these days. But did you knew that it is really easy to make it in Photoshop?


Yes, you heard me right. It is really easy to make this effect in photoshop in a matter of few steps.
so, let's get started.



 Firstly you need an interesting photo. I have chosen this image.


This effect looks good on photos that have dynamic pose, for example, a ballerina, a dancer, sportsperson in action and many more.


Next, if your image has a background isolate the subject to a transparent background. You can easily isolate your subject using magic wand or pen tool.

Now comes the main part. You will find a number of ways to this but I have come with a new method that I have developed. follow these steps:

1) Duplicate the image 2 times. Let's name the top layer Main and bottom layer right. Hide the original image.


2) Now move the right layer to the right by holding Shift + right arrow 4 times. This will change according to your image but for my image 4 works just fine.

3) Select the Marquee tool and select the right image layer by Ctrl-clicking on the thumbnail of the right layer on the layer panel.

4) Press Ctrl + Alt-click on the thumbnail of the main layer. This will result in only the intersecting part of the image being selected. Now press Ctrl + Shift + C Followed by Ctrl + Shift + V. this will copy and paste it onto the new layer. Hide the Main and right layer.



 

5) Alt Click and drag it to right keep it overlapped. Make many such copies. I made 20 such copies! The point is to make a complete image from top to bottom. You may need more or fewer copies depending on your image.

6) Select the single column marquee tool and click on the image where it full from top to bottom. Now press Ctrl + Shift + C Followed by Ctrl + Shift + V. this will copy and paste it onto the new layer. Hide all the other copies.

7) You may not be able to see anything but there is :) Press  Ctrl + T and stretch it to the right and there you have it pixel stretch effect.


 
 8) Turn on the original layer ie unhide it. Move the pixel stretch behind it. Apply a layer mask and mask out the areas on the left of the image as well as the parts not required. Finally, you have the Final result.

There are many variations to this effect. It all is about your creativity. This is how simple it is to create Pixel stretch effect in photoshop.


Practice and play around with this effect and 1 day you will be able to create awesome art with it in a professional manner and become a Really Creative Graphic Designer.
