rererepeats


The stripe!


The stripe was my first repeat venture and once I got my head around it decided it was not too tricky.
How to: repeat stripe pattern
1. open a new page in photoshop- Us International- A4
2. Select the Rectangular Marquee tool and draw lines
3.  select the paint bucket tool (underneath the gradient tool) and fill the lines with desired color 
3.  repeat
4. Select the stripe using the rectangular marque tool 
5. Go to edit -> define pattern and rename
6. Open a new document
7. Select the paint bucket and go to edit -> fill -> pattern (you can choose between either foreground or pattern) and select the stripe pattern 






 Symmetry!
