Retro Illustrator Patterns

In this pack you will find 10 carefully designed seamless retro vector patterns that you can use on your print or digital designs (stationery, packaging, business cards, etc) but also on your textiles designs or for websites backgrounds.

The download includes an .ai file containing the 10 seamless patterns and also an .ai file with the swatches only. Using the patterns is really simple; just load the swatches into Illustrator, draw your shape and from the swatches panel choose your desired pattern.

By default the patterns have a soft pastel retro color scheme, but you can easily change any color on the patterns (even the ones in gradients) by using the Global Colors feature. As they are perfectly seamless, you can use them to fill large areas in a print or digital project.
