 All About Patterns   onebreath onebreath wrote: 15 Apr, 2008
How can I create a new pattern?
In the top navigation menu, click on Patterns ? Create New then choose a category in the Browse More Pattern Styles drop down menu. To select a pattern, click on its thumbnail image. To change its colors, click on the color patches next to the pattern. A box will appear where you can modify them. If you need help using this color mixer, go here to find more detailed instructions. Can I turn a palette into a pattern? Yes, you can. Open the palette page then click on 'Create a Pattern with this Palette'. This will open the Add Pattern page and load the colors of the palette automatically. Then, all you have to do is choose your pattern and re-order the colors if you want to. I have a great idea for a new pattern! Can it be added to the site? Yes, it can if it's in a vector format like .ai or .svg so make sure to create it in a vector editor like Adobe Illustrator. Also take into account the default size and default colors used for existing patterns. Then send the CL team an e-mail with the vector file attached. Don't send patterns you haven't created yourself, of course.

Submitting a new pattern to be added to the site. I'd really like to know about that myself. It says to email the vector file but that's kind of vague to me. I know what a vector is but I don't know if there's a proper file extension for it (since I usually end up saving my work to be published online as png or gif), if it has to be a certain size, if it needs to be submitted in various grays, etc.  onebreath onebreath wrote: 15 Apr, 2008
