Goldfish Seamless Pattern

Creating a seamless pattern featuring colourful goldfish involves several steps from initial concept to final design. Here is a detailed breakdown of the process.

Setting Up in Affinity Designer


Create a new document in Affinity Designer with the same dimensions as the Procreate canvas. Set up guidelines to help with alignment and placement.


Placing the Elements


  • Import the PNG files into Affinity Designer.

  • Arrange the goldfish and aquatic elements on the canvas.

  • Ensure that elements that go off one edge of the canvas are mirrored and aligned on the opposite edge to create a seamless transition.


Creating the Seamless Repeat


  • Use the "Duplicate" and "Transform" tools to replicate elements across the canvas edges.

  • Carefully adjust the positioning to ensure no gaps or abrupt transitions.


Testing the Seamless Pattern


  • Duplicate the entire canvas multiple times and align the duplicates next to each other to check for seamlessness.

  • Make adjustments as necessary to fix any visible seams.


Final Adjustments and Export


  • Fine-tune colours, add shadows or highlights if needed.

  • Export the final seamless pattern as a high-resolution PNG or JPG file.
