i've been seeing lots of site lately such as
this (from a previous thread) and this that are using the patterned backgrounds. is there a site with free patterns that are available for tiling on webpages, or are these designers creating their own?

Any one know where to go to learn how to design your own?

it's funny.. patterned wallpaper for homes are coming back into to style, i wonder if this has any correlation with this web trend?

i'd like to a tutorial on how to make these, as well.. it seems like it's an art in itself.

awesome thread

Basically, you just create a square that will eventually equal a quarter of your tile, start drawing, and then square it in size, rotating each one successively so they line up into a larger square 4 times the size of the original.

Beyond that, there's really nothing to it.

Great links. I'm getting more and more interested in having a pattern for a background of the portfolio I am making. Although I'll see if I find something I will like, otherwise maybe I'll just have to make my own
