This tutorial covers how to create seamless repeats inside Adobe Illustrator. I cover a couple different methods, but the primary one involves using the move command to ensure that all of your repeats match up in a pixel perfect manner.

Learning how to create seamlessly repeating patterns inside Adobe Illustrator is especially useful in applications like fabric / textile design as well as web design. They offer a huge amount of flexibility in scaling your designs to look good on almost any sort of small or large scale application that needs the design to cover the entire area.

This tutorial shows the pattern being created on a square document, but feel free to use whatever size and aspect ratio of document you want. The same principles apply.

This tutorial goes over how to create artboards in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015. This is a BRAND NEW feature in Adobe Photoshop CC 2015, so it won't apply to any older versions, but it should apply to anything newer.

Artboards will be an amazing addition in particular to website designers and app designers who are looking for a better way to create a workflow that incorporates many different screens and re-usable assets. I also briefly cover the use of the Creative Cloud libraries built into Photoshop to save time when creating reusable assets for whatever your project might be.
