Spoonflower’s 12 Days of Design: Day #9: Discover Repeats

Another short day today! You may have played with it some when you uploaded your artwork yesterday, as I did. But today is about choosing repeats for your design. The ones on the Spoonflower site are Basic, Half Drop, Half Brick, Center, and Mirror. Depending on your design, one or more might work better than others. I’m probably going with the Half Brick.

As they say in the post for today’s task, sometimes a simple element can be made into something more compelling by using a certain repeat. You can also preview your design on wallpaper or gift wrap.

If you’re looking for a seamless repeat, there are ways of doing that. See the post for information.
