how do people make designs such as these. if someone already asked, i'm sorry, if you could just point me in that direction.



thank you

im gonna guess random art with the pencil tool!

but if your asking how to create a pattern in general, just create a new image with an image(the pattern) on it and click image - define pattern. then open a new image with a bigger size and click edit - fill. and in the drop down menu choose patterns, and then choose the pattern you created.

i have photoshop and such and i do know about the random pencil work. i've been playing around with my photoshop for a while, also googleing it and the closest thing i got was the mehdi kaleidoscope plug-in and well it seems these patters are showing up more and more on websites. i was just wondering if any of you knew of any way how to do this, any plug-ins i could get, or guide me to any tuts.

Several tuts here:

I do them in psp, 10 sec filter effect you can use with fonts, dingbats or just filling pixels, its old and apart from P2L there will be other tuts out there on this as its been around for many many yrs.

the program he mentions to use is the one that i downloaded. but look at his background on his site. i want to know how to make those sort of things.

Yep I use Kaleidoscope, its build in under reflection effects in psp. Just follow that tutorial its pretty basic and yu should be right.

think up what you want it to look like, and trial and error with a tiled bg. Or just random pencil art. Either way, trial and error until u get somthing u like.

Maybe find a simple pattern on net, paste it onto transparent photoshop document and magic wand it and then define pattern... that should work.
