A good pattern archive lets another person identify the licensed master, understand its permissions, reproduce an approved output, and detect corruption without guessing. Separate immutable sources from editable work and disposable exports, then back up the collection using more than one medium.
How do you mix different patterns without making a design look busy?
Successful pattern mixing is not achieved by making every print match. It comes from clear hierarchy and a few shared relationships. Choose one lead pattern, give supporting patterns different jobs, vary their scales, and judge the collection on the real objects or layout where it will appear.
