All questions →How do you choose a pattern for small products and packaging?
Small surfaces reveal only a fraction of a large repeat. The best tile is not simply the one with the smallest motifs; it is the one whose important visual idea survives cropping, production, handling, and variation across every item in the range.
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.
