This is the second class in my series, Photoshop for Surface Pattern Design. In this class I show you how I create both full drop and half drop repeats in Adobe Photoshop. Both methods produce seamless repeats for creating patterns for textiles, stationery, home decor and more, but each has its own advantage depending on the pattern application. I will then show you how I create a mini collection that incorporates both a seamless full drop and half drop repeat pattern to go with a placement print of your choice ready to submit to an art director or to create your own products.
