Tartan Vector Patterns

This pack contains 20 Tartan Vector Paterns for Illustrator that you can use on your print or digital designs (stationery, packaging, business cards, etc) but also on your textiles designs or even on websites backgrounds.

The download includes an .ai file containing the 20 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. As they are perfectly seamless, you can use them to fill large areas in a print or digital project.

By default the patterns have a beige - orange - black color scheme over a transparent background, but you can easily change it to any color combination you like by using the Illustrator Global Colors feature.
