Pattern Pattern

Pattern

The first in a weekly series of graphic design tools for Néojaponisme readers: a number of red, white, and black patterns based on Modern Japanese graphic design from the 1950s.

I am a big fan of pattern design and have been developing a series of patterns to turn into a book someday. In the meantime, I’ll be picking some of the more choice cuts for you.

These patterns are free to use for non-commercial applications. (For commercial applications, please contact us for a license.)

The patterns are provided in Illustrator CS3, Illustrator CS, and Adobe PDF format. You can download a zipped file containing all three formats here.

    Ah, this is nice of you.
    Looks like you’re making them fresh, too! I half-thought they might have been lying around for a while, since there were quite a number of Japanese-style patterns in the poster you did for Cafe Pause.

    Got a font missing error in the CS doc, too. Might want to outline everything in the next release~

    Hi,
    I like the headline font. Is it selfmade, can I buy it somewhere?
