ABSTRACT
A variety of digital programs exist to helps the designer to create an entirely digitally based pattern—Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, GIMP, SketchBook, Pixlr, and Inkscape are only a few of the many options that a designer has to choose from for a digital platform. Basic/block/square repeat pattern is perhaps the simplest to create. It consists of an image or images dropped consistently and evenly spaced over an invisible grid, similar to tiles on a floor. Toss/random pattern pattern feels random and hide the obvious repeat in a pattern. Diamond and ogee pattern is a variation on a half-brick pattern where the diamond shape of the image flows directly into the next image below it. Ogee patterns are derived from the ancient Middle Eastern world, and are a prevalent feature in a lot of Gothic architecture.
