The technical heart of pattern design is the seamless repeat: where tiles meet there should be neither seam nor gap.
In a contest, designers show the tiled result, not just the motif — so you see how it behaves on fabric, packaging or a wall.
What matters
- Seamless repeat: the join must be invisible.
- Scale: small reads as texture, large reads as graphic.
- Colour separation: colour count drives print cost.
- End use: fabric, packaging and walls want different scales.
The winning pattern ships as vector or high-resolution source.
