Description
This book explains, in simple steps and non-mathematical terminology, how to create repeat patterns in a line, on the plane, as tiles and as Escher-like repeats. The book also shows how to make "wallpaper repeats", where the elements of the pattern merge into each other, apparently seamlessly.
Using letters as the basic elements, How to Make Repeat Patterns demonstrates how all repeat pattern-making comes out of four simple operations: translation, rotation, reflection and glide reflection. It will provide the definitive one-stop pattern-making resource for professional designers and students across disciplines, from textiles and fashion to graphic design and architecture.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Eye praises it as "a highly accessible guide to making repeat patterns that encourages playfulness, adaptation, experimentation and vital rule-breaking."
