Seamless patterns ideas

[jando]

Hello,

I'm practicing to create some seamless patterns, and I have already created a properly functioning template in Affinity Designer. What I would like, is to get some ideas on how to make them. Some information about the basics, ideas for more complex ones.

Any suggestions? Books, courses, videos..? Which tutorials do you like?

Thanks!

 

(I wanted to post this under "tutorials" but I couldn't select the option)

Welcome to the forums @jando

The “Tutorials” section of the forums is for posting tutorials for other people to follow, not for asking for them.

The “Resources” section of the forums is for posting resources that other people can use, not for asking for them.

Questions and requests for information should be posted in the “Questions” section of the forum.

This isn’t a big problem or anything like that, so please don’t worry, it just helps to keep things in the right place so people can find stuff more easily.

You do not need to do anything with this thread, a moderator will move it to the relevant section for you.

While you are waiting for responses, try searching these forums for seamless pattern and see how various people have tried to do this, and the sort of problems they have come across, and how they resolved those problems (if they did).

(You might find some useful videos and/or tutorials but I doubt there will be many courses or books on this subject, especially using the Affinity applications.)

Thanks Garry, I'll search this forum too. I'm also searching google and youtube of course, but I was hoping to find someone who is into this subject who could share some resources I would otherwise miss out on.

I thought this one for Affinity was really good to start with.

Maybe the Spotlight article at  https://affinityspotlight.com/article/how-to-achieve-perfect-repeat-patterns-every-time-in-affinity-designer/  will also be of interest to you?

The article uses the iPad version but the technique should be the same (& maybe easier to use) in the desktop version.

Thanks! I'd stumbled upon a video by her before, but I see that she actually made a course about it
