Pattern design is booming in the craft, textile, fashion and graphic design worlds. This is a much-needed book on simple and more advanced ways of creating pattern with a source of 2000 colourful combinations that you can use for further creative work.
The simplest pattern is a repeat of a motif. You can make that more interesting by creating a brickwork grid when repeating motifs. Make it different again by rotating the image, or by mirroring it. Taking the reader through various pattern developments thoroughly, it shows how one motif can lead to inexhaustible pattern interpretations. All these techniques are explained and illustrated, making the book an ideal way of learning about pattern design basics as well as finding an inspirational pattern.
This is a visually rich book that has application for any kind of designer, whether working on fabric, the web or the world of graphics.

It has become a fascination for me over the years, providing a sound discipline for my stitched shibori work. We encounter pattern design on different surfaces on a daily basis. Even smooth white sheeting has pattern, the organisation of warp and weft threads in a plain weave, more easily seen in basketry, is pattern born out of construction. For pattern designers, never before has there been such a vast selection of techniques, enticing media and materials to work with or so many diverse sources for inspiration. With current weaving, transfer and printing technology, patterns can be interpreted in a myriad of different ways and applied to any number of surfaces. Pattern is created by the repetitive placement of a motif or design in a systematic way. The pattern maker uses geometric grids to ensure the placements are methodically accurate, w.
