Product Review: Repper Patterns

July 13, 2011 Author: Renee Pearson Categories: Reviews

I’m always on the lookout for better design tools. Even though I rely on Photoshop or Illustrator most of the time, sometimes all I need is a quick patterned background to set the stage for a page layout.

I could do this in Photoshop, of course. But pattern-making in Photoshop is a laborious task that I tend to avoid. Enter Repper.

What’s Repper?

Repper is a pattern creator that turns your images into patterned designs. It’s a desktop app available for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Repper falls into the “new to me” category. I don’t know how long the tool’s been around, but I found it today and immediately began to play with the free demo. I quickly realized the possibilities were endless. Here’s a quick video using one of my own designs.

I think Repper just might be in my design future.

Wow! What a clever little app. I love that you can get patterns from any image. I think it’ll be great resource for adding more value from existing designs! Recycling patterns! Thanks for sharing.

Thank you Renee for this link! I knew that years ago Terazzo (or something like that) had a sort of tilemaker. But was not expensive and not so many options as this program.

Gonna download the demo and start playing. There goes the to-do list for today…
