    Thanks for these patterns! As simple as they might seem, some of them are actually not that simple to make. And they're quite effective!

    They've inspired me to create a set of line/simple shape patterns too. For all those interested, you can find them on: https://slootenweb.nl/30_free_and_simple_patterns/
    I think they complement these pretty well.

  28. ABDUL JANOO says:

    good work………… but I am waiting for j query tut

  29. tripdragon says:

    Oooorrr Ya'lls could just make your own and choose your own color. But having a nice starter list is a good thing to bounce off of.

    Too bad PS sucks at real live feedback on creating them without having to keep creating them from a selection in the menu list and reopening the layer style to assign.

    Someone write a plugin that creates a realtime view of a tile. THAT would be something.

  30. James says:

    I was just looking for something like this, nice.

  31. Tom Durkin says:

  39. PRATEEK GUPTA says:

    great patterns chris

  40. Susan says:

    How do you then apply color changes to the pattern? I haven't been able to figure that out….

    • Chris Spooner says:

      To change the colours you would ideally use them along with Photoshop's blending modes. For instance you could set the pattern to Multiply, then place a red fill over the top set to Screen (or something along those lines!)
      You could also use the Pattern and Color Overlay options in the layer styles window.

      • @torchlessrunner says:

        I just press ctrl (pc) & layer tbumbnail to load a selection then choose fill bucket with new colour. Use opacity or fill % to adjust if needed with blend modes.
