Create a Plaid or Tartan Pattern in Adobe Illustrator - A Graphic Design for Lunch™ Class

Graphic Design for Lunch™ is a series of short video courses you can study in bite size pieces such as at lunchtime. In this course you'll learn to create a seamless repeating plaid design in Illustrator. We'll create a couple of color variations so you can see how to add some extra dimension to your plaid and how to create a plaid from two versions of the same set of stripes and two that are different. The finished swatches are seamless repeating patterns you can use to create scrapbook papers, fabric designs and more. This pattern can be created in almost any version of Illustrator as it does not use the Pattern Make tool.
