For this session, our task was to create a repeat pattern using photoshop tools. This meant it was a purely digital outcome unlike most other examples of our work which is created during lesson time.

First, I selected the paint tool and created a background colour. I then moved on to drawing my pattern which I did so using different colours and opacities. Image 1 was the result.
I then saved my design as a paintbrush which means I will no longer have to craw may design but can simply select it though the paintbrush tool.
Image 2 shows the next step. I wanted to divide my image into quarters and move them from the centre to each of the 4 corners so that the repeat pattern would be successful later. I simply went to the filter menu, selected other and the offset.
When I selected offset, I could manipulate my design so I could fit them into the corner as I thought was best.
The result
Next, I went to the paintbrush menu and selected my paintbrush so that I could stamp one more of my design into the new space.
The result
I then opened a new file 4x the size of the original file so that more of my design can be repeated and I could get the full effect.
I went into the edit menu and selected fill to which I could then select my pattern to fill the page with.
