22 Free Seamless Vector Pattern Resources Perfect For Web Design
Dainis GraverisPatterns actually can be found almost everywhere – in print design, web design, graphic design etc. For example if you use pattern in web design, just set CSS repeat-x-y and you’ll get beautiful background,but image will be very small and page load time will be much faster. There are very big variety how you can use and implement patterns, but the fact is – free resources – like patterns, brushes, shapes are big time savers. Of course it’s better to create your own stuff, but sometimes you receive project with fast deadline and you need everything to do fast and this is one of the solutions.
This list just features 22 resource sites and several very well written articles with premade pattern collections, it was very interesting for me to write this article, I am hoping it will be interesting reading and useful resource for bookmarking.

Posted 516 days ago 17Thank you for this great collection. I just bought me a “schneidplotter” (don´t know the english wording – but I is a kind of printer which do not print but cut out the lines of the vector graphics) So I need a lot of vector stuff for trying out the machine.
Thanks a lot and kind regards from germany – sorry for my bad english (my german is better :o) )

Posted 703 days ago 16As always, another great collection. Only problem is it encourages me to be creatively lazy – why strain my brain when I can get such great work here!

Posted 819 days ago 14I’m currently trying to think where threaded comments fit in the roadmap right now, but it is something that is definitely planned. We’re not going to say people *have* to use threaded comments, but the system shouldn’t restrict people who want to have that option. Plus for larger conversations I think threaded comments make everything easier to follow.
