Laurence King - How to Make Repeat Patterns

How to Make Repeat Patterns

Master pattern design with four transformations for infinite repeats

Translation, rotation, reflection, and glide reflection. Once you grasp these fundamentals, you can apply them to any visual element.

The book devotes substantial attention to seamless wallpaper repeats, where pattern elements merge without visible joints, the technique behind professional textile and surface design. Each concept builds methodically on previous ones, making complex tessellations and transformations approachable whether you're working in fabric design, fashion, graphic design, or architectural applications. At 160 pages with generous 8.75" square format, the book provides room for clear diagrams and examples that clarify rather than confuse.

This becomes the reference you return to whenever a project demands repeating patterns, eliminating guesswork and giving you systematic control over results that look effortlessly sophisticated.
