WHY THIS MATTERS
A half drop repeat and a brick repeat solve different problems, and a file that looks perfect at screen resolution can fall apart the moment a manufacturer opens it. These five decks cover the structural decisions and production specs that separate a design that looks finished from one that is truly production ready.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
A working method for building seamless repeats, a sharper eye for scale and composition, and the file prep knowledge to hand off artwork a production team can use without a follow up email.
