Illustrator Tricks 2: Electric Boogaloo

If at first you don’t blind them with your designs …

This week, another round of practice with repeating patterns in Illustrator.  It seems like it can be a bit fussy, but the biggest challenge at the moment is getting color combinations that aren’t completely eye-blinding, like this one is:

A rather eye-blinding red on deep pinkish repeating background

A rather eye-blinding red on deep pinkish repeating background

This one is slightly better:

A kind of green and grey houndstooth-ish background

A kind of green and grey houndstooth-ish background … not so eyeblinding, is it?

Finally, this one seems to be nicely subtle and suitable for backgrounds:

light grey 4-armed things on a lighter grey background

A nice subtle wallpaper or background

I got started on one that’s made of vines, but like the trees, that one takes a bit longer.

Click on the images for larger versions. These are all, like last week’s, released for anyone to use, totally free.  Enjoy them if you find a use for them.
