Description

*** Create Art. Even if you can't draw. ***

Pattern Artist is a unique and fun app for quickly creating beautiful custom repeating patterns and abstract art. Even if you don't consider yourself an artist, with Pattern Artist, you can be! Use it to make wallpapers, website backgrounds (including Facebook, Twitter and Flickr home pages), calendars, custom photo frames, pattern resources for other art programs, or just because you love making art!

Pattern Artist is not a painting app but a novel template-based approach to creating captivating designs. The basics are simple - you will likely create your first design in just a few minutes - yet it has the capability and flexibility to be a serious art creation tool.

If you want a unique background for your mobile device or your website, Pattern Artist provides a refreshing alternative to all the "wallpaper gallery" apps you've used. Rather than browsing through pages of pre-built backgrounds to find a wallpaper that appeals to you, why not create a customized background pattern with the design, colors, textures and scaling that appeals to your artistic tastes and/or design requirements?

Download Pattern Artist Free to discover just how fun creating artistic patterns can be. The free version of the app allows you to try out all the features of Pattern Artist, limiting only the number of templates and color schemes provided, the number of custom color schemes you can create, and the output resolution of some of the tools.

Features:
- powerful color selection tools for accurately choosing colors
- built-in palette of textures to add a detailed "finishing touch" to your pattern
- add text labels to images. Save labels for easy reuse
- post to Instagram, including managing/assigning hashtags
- build a collection of custom color schemes entirely within the app, or import color schemes created externally
- create calendars or frame photos using any of your created patterns directly in the app
- library and slideshow for displaying your artistic creations
- Airplay support (e.g. view the full repeating pattern on your Apple TV while zoomed-in to edit)
- export patterns to iPhoto for use as home screen or lock screen wallpaper
- send patterns via email, print, or copy via pasteboard into other art apps
- print "line-only" version of patterns for hand coloring with crayons, pastels, markers, paint, etc.
- share to Facebook and Twitter (iOS 6+ only).
- supports both landscape and portrait use on iPad

Brilliant

It's really easy to use lots of free templates that you can change in to multiple patterns

Full Potential Not Exploited!

I absolutely love this app but it appears the developer Kevin Brain has abandoned it as he doesn't seem to respond to any of the comments, suggestions or reviews! I have emailed support a few times and never got a response. It's great when developers engage with the public as they get more ideas for improvements. Also when users purchase the app and encounter problems, it's helpful when the support team respond.

Nonetheless, this app is really so unique and the options are endless and I have created over three thousand designs so far as a hobby but now have been encouraged to sell them on POD platforms but only just discovered that the image resolution is only 72ppi way sort of the standard 300ppi required. When the designs are used on POD platforms or enlarged, the quality is quite poor and it is super pixelated!

I don't think there is any support available as no one responded to my queries! The questions below aren't addressed in the help section.

1. How to export high resolution images of at least 300 ppl resolution outcome or is it always going to be stuck at 72ppi?

2. What do the sizes within the design eg (128 x 128) and when exporting (1:1 at 1920 x 1920) represent? pixels? inches?, ppi? or is it just regular zoom? etc

It would be amazing if the developer incorporated the following:

1. Vector based templates or the ability to export the images at a resolution of at least 300
2. The ability to edit the designs beyond the original or boundaries of the original templates
3. The option of exporting PNG with a transparent background
4. An eraser tool

Currently the largest export size for an untiled image depends on how much you zoom it before export (max is 3264 x 3264) however don’t know whether that increases the image size or number of pixels when designing. However, zooming the image to the max 3264 x 3264, distorts the design and outline/stroke size

While for the tiled patterns the largest image size that can be exported is 1:1 @ 2732 x 2732
If these features could be added, I wouldn't mind paying a lot more than the £1.99. If all the above features were incorporated or if it this app could just be made vector based and could be brought up to a professional standard, this app would be worth at least £50 and many professional pattern designers wouldn’t hesitate to pay that amount for it. Still a great app! To the developers, if you’re not interested in developing this app any further, can’t you sell it to Serif or Adobe? 🤓

Great potential

I've enjoyed building patterns but when I sent to myself they were unusably small. I set it to the largest size available and just one cell so I can tile myself n make for large sheets of material but it came out WAY TO SMALL. Fix this and I'd give 5 stars!
