William Morris described good decorative pattern as "Something that will not drive us into unrest or callousness; something which reminds us of life beyond itself and which has the impress of imagination strong on it; and something which can be done by a great many people and without too much difficulty and with pleasure." We are surrounded by repeat patterns. You can find them in tiling, wallpaper, textiles, packaging, backdrops for text or illustrations in graphic media, and in architectural forms. This is a small collection of repeat patterns made with different illustration methods.
