Constructing simple patterns and defining patterns
To create a pattern, you create artwork that you want to use as a pattern tile and then drag
it to the Swatches palette.
it to the Swatches palette.
To create a pattern:
1 Create artwork for the pattern following
2 To make the pattern less complex so that it prints more rapidly, remove any unnec-
essary detail from the pattern artwork, and group objects that are painted with the same
color so that they are adjacent in the stacking order.

color so that they are adjacent in the stacking order.
3 Optionally, to control the spacing between pattern elements or to clip out portions of
the pattern, draw a pattern bounding box (an unfilled rectangle) around the artwork you
want to use as a pattern. Choose Object > Arrange > Send to Back to make the rectangle
the backmost object. To use the rectangle as a bounding box for a brush or fill pattern, fill
and stroke it with None.

5 Do one of the following:
•
Choose Edit > Define Pattern, and enter a name in the New Swatch dialog box.
•
Choose Window > Swatches (if necessary), and then drag the artwork to the Swatches
palette.
To name a pattern in the Swatches palette:
1 Double-click a pattern swatch.
2 Enter the new pattern name in the Swatch Name text box, and click OK.
Guidelines for constructing patterns
Follow these general guidelines for constructing pattern tiles:
•
As you create your pattern tile, zoom in on the artwork to align elements more
accurately, and then zoom out from the artwork for the final selection.
•
For greatest efficiency in previewing and printing, a fill pattern tile should be about
1/2 inch to 1 inch square. Side tiles for brush patterns should be no larger than 1/2 inch
to 1 inch high by 1 inch to 2 inches wide; the corner tiles must be the same height as
the side tiles and should be square.
to 1 inch high by 1 inch to 2 inches wide; the corner tiles must be the same height as
the side tiles and should be square.
•
The more complex the pattern, the smaller the selection used to create it should be;
however, the smaller the selection (and the pattern tile it creates), the more copies are
needed to create the pattern. Thus, a 1-inch-square tile is more efficient than a 1/4-inch-
square tile. If you are creating a simple pattern, you can include multiple copies of the
object within the selection intended for the pattern tile.

•
To create simple line patterns, layer stroked lines of varying widths and colors and place
an unfilled and unstroked bounding box behind the lines to create a pattern tile.
•
To make an organic or textural pattern appear irregular, vary the tile artwork subtly, not
dramatically, for a more realistic effect. You can use the Roughen filter in the Distort
menu to control variations.

•
To ensure smooth tiling, close paths before defining the pattern.
