It’s been a while since I’ve published much of anything around here so today, I’ve put together a set of 10 seamless plaid patterns for Illustrator and Photoshop that you can use in your designs. The patterns are available in both Illustrator and Photoshop format and can be imported as a .PAT file in Photoshop or as an .AI file in Illustrator. When you open the Illustrator file don’t forget to check the swatches palette. Hope you guys enjoy this set! Hopefully, I’ll have some more goodies for you soon.

25 Woven Plaid Swatches

Earlier this week I posted a set of 50 Plaid Pattern Swatches. As I explained in that post, plaid patterns have countless uses for fashion design or textiles, graphic or web design, package design and more. What makes this set different from the last set however is the simulated twill texture that I applied to it. Applying that texture took a little extra time so instead of creating 50 swatches like I did last time, this time, I only created 25. What makes swatches so great is the flexibility that they provide. You can perform a number of transformations on them including scale and rotate without affecting the shape of the object they are applied to. You can find a detailed tutorial on how to install and work with pattern swatches here.

50 Plaid Pattern Illustrator Swatches

Grant Friedman — Mon, 13 Oct 2008 00:01:06 +0000

I have always been fascinated with plaid patterns, so last week I decided to create a set of 50 plaid pattern swatches to give away on my site. Plaid patterns have countless uses for fashion design or textiles, graphic or web design, package design and more. What makes this set so great is that each seamless vector pattern has been converted to a swatch. Swatches are great because of the flexibility that they provide. You can perform a number of transformations on them including scale and rotate without affecting the shape of the object they are applied to. You can find a detailed tutorial on how to install and work with pattern swatches here.
