Seamless Pattern Background Designs

Seamless Pattern Background Design Editor:

"Mode:EditPreviewAll designs 0 to 192 of 192"

With this new editor I've attempted to create a very direct and easy way to browse through the database of pattern color variations and edit selected designs all in one place. The editor allows users to save palettes and apply them to all designs quickly and easily. This ability combined with a shuffle tool, a RGB true color selector and repeat size controls allows designers to create whole collections of coordinated pattern themes in a fun way and save to their account for use at another time.

INSTRUCTIONS
Click the X at the bottom of the introduction page (with the quote above) and fire up the editor to choose from 192 seamless / tileble patterns.

Then, edit the colors, add textures and scale the pattern before downloading a free .png file. Other formats for members. Shuffle colors to see a random selection of variations, or find the screen that has the Variations button to see another 192 variations of this single pattern.

Lunchtime: Guilloché Patterns security pattern bank notes + stock certificates anti-counterfeiting • (via subblue)

Guilloché Patterns • subblue: Pattern generator

"If you wanted to design your own bank notes or passport you might consider using a Guilloché pattern as one of your anti-counterfeiting measures.
I first heard about Guilloché patterns in a recent post over at the Ministry of Type blog run by Aegir Hallmundur. Guilloché machines (also known as geometric lathes) have been used since the 17th century by watchmakers and goldsmiths, such as Fabergè, for for ornamentation."
