Surface pattern design is the creative practice of designing repeating patterns and motifs applied to surfaces such as textiles, wallpaper, packaging, and stationery. Designers use tools like Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop to create seamless, tileable artwork that is then licensed or sold to manufacturers of fabric, home goods, and paper products. It draws on skills in illustration, color theory, and composition, and is popular among freelance artists and licensing businesses.
