Every time you want to use your cell phone or computer, you see an image: the background or wallpaper. It’s best if that image is hand-picked or created by yourself, right? A patterned image is a good choice, allowing you to express some aspects of your personality with the colors and shapes you choose.

Besides using your computer and cell phone almost daily, you will most likely consume content from social media. What’s more, you’ll probably have accounts on many social networking sites.

Patterns are an arrangement or a combination of repeated shapes, lines, and colors, at least design-wise. You can find them everywhere: flooring tiles, clothing, ornate carpets, even in nature! The human brain loves to find patterns, so depending on your project, it can be a useful resource.

Whenever you see several design elements arranged so that they are repeated and work together, that’s a pattern.

What is a pattern in graphic design?

Patterns can be used creatively by designers. Designers can make a pattern out of almost everything. For example, they can create a square image with some elements inside and then repeat it indefinitely. It’s best if there are no elements on the borders of that square, or else they will look cut. However, this depends very much on the design.

How do graphic designers use patterns?

Since patterns are repeated elements in a design, almost anything can be transformed into a pattern. If you have already designed your logo, you can open it in Photoshop, select it with the Rectangle Marquee tool, and go to Edit > Define Pattern to save it as a pattern, ready to be applied elsewhere.
