I wanted to experiment with making a repeat pattern from a little drawing I did, just to learn the skills so I could apply them to my current Graphics Project, where I want to create wrapping paper by repeating my logo.

Repeat Pattern. |
These are the steps I took to create these:
- Firstly I rezised my image to a easier comprehensible size in this case 300 x 400 pixels (resolution = 150).
- I then adjusted my image with the Levels and Curves.
- Then I seleted Offset (on the Filter Menu) and added half the size on each side and I made sure I selected Wrap Round option.
- I created a much bigger new document (2400 x 3200 pixels).
- To create the repeat pattern, I selected all of my new image and copied and pasted it onto the new document, many times and aligning each piece.
- To finish, I flatten my image to make it all one layer.
To change the colours of the design and make different versions, I used the Hue/Saturation Adjustment.

I really enjoyed creating these images and it wasn't too hard to understand. :)
