درس تصميم باترن

Step 1 - Create your canvas and Shape Library

Create a New Canvas, 800px by 800px,
Create your canvas
Select the Custom Shape tool (U). Now in the Options bar at the top select the Shape Down Arrow and while Holding ALT click on all the shapes to delete them (don't worry, they're not permanently Deleted.
Set up a new shape library
Make sure View>Snap and View>Snap To are ticked, and place horizontal and Vertical Rulers along the center of your image
Set up your rulers

Step 2 - Create your First Shape

With shape layers selected and the ellipse tool drag out an ellipse from the centre of the image (making sure it snaps to the guides). Then, make sure the shape layer is selected and grab the Pen Tool (P), holding down ALT/CMD and dragging the anchor points of the shape to a shape that you desire.
Start creating your first shape
Use Subtract from Shape Area to modify your shape.
Use Subract from Shape Area
Select the Shape using the Pen Selection Tool (A) and Hold down SHIFT while clicking on our shape to select its path, then press CTRL/CMD + C and CTRL/CMD + V.Then hit CTRL/CMD + T and drag the Anchor point down to the center of the Image, and Rotate the selection using the degree Option at the top (Remember there are 360 Degrees in a circle, so you need to Rotate the selection by a number that goes into 360 evenly!).
Use the Angle Transform to Begin Creating your pattern
Repeat the process until you've gone full circle.
You should have something like this by now
Repeat the steps again until you have an intricate shape, remembering to use the Subtract from Shape Area so that the entire shape remains on a single layer.
Keep adding and subracting from your shape
Now we'll add this shape to our library. Go to Edit>Define Custom Shape and name your shape.
Name your shape
Save the .psd just in case you want to make changes later. Use the Steps you've learned to make 2-3 more shapes similar to the one we've just created.
Create some more shapes like we did before
Now Select the Custom Shape Tool, Hit the Drop down Menu and select Save Shapes, name the set of shapes whatever you like.
Save your shape library

Step 3 - Creating the Pattern

Now we're going to combine all of these shapes together to make an intricate seamless pattern. Create a new canvas, 800px by 800px. Set down Rulers Like we did before, Select one of your Flower shapes and place it in the center, creating a starting point for the pattern.
Place your shape in the Center of the canvas
Now use your other shapes and place them equally around the center point, using the same techniques we learned in Step 2: Moving the Anchor points to the center and rotating it.
Distribute the other shapes equally in an outward fashion
Highlight all of your shape layers, right click them and select Merge Layers. Now with the merged layer highlighted go to Filter>Other>Offset. Now our Canvas is 800px by 800px so we want to offset the layer by 400px on both the vertical and Horizontal lines, make sure Wrap Around is Ticked.
Use the Offset Filter
And that's all you really need to do to get a working pattern, this design will already tile seamlessly, but it's a bit bare, so let's add a little bit more detail. I've added another shape to the center of the pattern, as well as some shapes that are in the default shapes in Photoshop. Also, delete the white background layer so that the pattern has a transparent backdrop.
Add more detail to your pattern
Merge your layers by highlighting them all, Right Clicking and selecting Merge Layers. Now go to Edit>Define Pattern, name the pattern whatever you wish.
Name your pattern
Now you've got the pattern saved in your patterns palette and can use it whenever you wish. For Example, Create a new Canvas, 1000px by 1000px and fill a layer with blue. Right Click the Layer, Select Blending Options>Pattern Overlay. Select your new pattern from the drop down menu and move the Scale slider to an appropriate level.
Use the pattern overlay to laydown the pattern
And there you have it! The pattern will scale indefinitely and can be used on any number of projects, you can spruce it up any way you like, with some gradient overlays, Layer Styles and filters you can get some pretty cool looking results:
Some Cool Effects can be made with simple patterns
I'd love to see what patterns you guys can come up with!
