hey what's up guys today I want to show
you this really cool tool that excels at
letting us create patterns I don't know
about you but creating seamless patterns
is something that I've really struggled
with typically if I wanted a seamless
pattern I would go to a website like
vexels which by the way I should just
plug this wasn't planned but they are
running some Halloween sale today where
I think it's like 40 off so I will drop
a link to that before I forget because I
did forget
um but that's what I was doing in the
past now what you can do with repper is
you can use their app to create like
seamless patterns from any graphic it's
really cool they've got like just a ton
of functionality packed into their app
so I'm going to show you some of that
today in this video also you can get a
14 day free trial with no credit card
required so it's something you can
actually use so let's get right to it
foreign
so the app we're going to be using is
called repper I'll put a link to that at
the top of the description I wanted to
show you really quickly I screenshotted
this from their home page it says right
underneath start app it says 14 days
free access no credit card needed I love
when people believe in their tool enough
to let you use it for free assuming
you're gonna like it so much that you'll
you know pay for it after two weeks so
you can go ahead and try it out using
the link in the description also down
there in the description I've got my
eight day print on demand mini course
completely free so make sure you check
that out and my print on demand Facebook
group that I hope you will also check
out all right let's jump on over to
repper all right guys so we're here on
the reper website I'm just going to go
ahead and click start app by the way
when you uh join repper they have like
kind of an introductory
welcome series that will be delivered
via email that's really helpful as well
to anybody that's new uh so there's some
demo projects that are created for us by
default I also just wanted to show you
and I'll start with um a collection that
and it's called a collection where you
can upload multiple images but I went
ahead and created a collection ahead of
time where I had
um already uploaded an image the images
of a Bull's Head you can see it on the
left hand side there okay and what's
cool is like this is a very flexible app
in general okay when it comes to
creating your patterns
in this case what I wanted to show you
is that like I can kind of crop what
portion of my image is utilized in the
pattern like I can make it small
I can make it big I can do whatever I
want it's very uh flexible in terms of
like how easy wrapper is to work with so
that's the first thing I wanted to show
you
um the second thing I want to show you
because it already has a kind of a tiled
pattern here by default
I wanted to show you that you can click
3D up at the top of the screen
and if you click 3D it shows you a 3D
mock-up of how this would look on a
product so you know right away
if you like the current pattern that
you're working with so it's it's very
useful I mean honestly I think it's
really cool
um you can click surface as well or you
can click tile and view the actual tile
that is being uh replicated
um as you go so I typically use the
surface design now you can do things
like rotate the pattern itself okay and
that is again over on the left hand side
so I'll just leave it at zero for now
and you can go to uh effects and there's
actually by the way I mean I'm going to
show you other ways of doing patterns
like there's a whole bunch
but really quickly let me just show you
some of the effects while it's on my
mind so you can make color adjustments
similar to what you would do in like
Photoshop or illustrator or whatever so
you can do brightness like you see me
doing there
contrast all right it's actually kind of
cool to like put the contrast at the
extreme get the fully uh saturated
colors there
um saturation here as well looks really
cool to kind of play with you can make
it black and white just like that which
by the way I have some notes here
because I met with somebody from repper
to get kind of some tips before I did
this video and one of them was that if
you use the black and white feature uh
that can be good for KDP coloring books
and he said that there's people that are
already using repper to make adult
coloring books uh so maybe some more
like kind of advanced patterns and
whatnot and he said you can try the
duotone to make two color patterns okay
and that's right here
so this is the duotone I probably should
turn off the black and white and the
color adjustments uh and then with the
duotone here you can select different
colors that you would like to work with
so maybe we just do like white and black
in that case
um different Graphics are going to
perform better
it all depends on the graphic itself
um they said things like you know start
with the largest source image possible
which is generally speaking of best
practice
um some patterns tile some don't most of
them do so I'm going to experiment with
some of the other patterns in a second
here uh the 3D mock-ups built in I
showed you that tile mode you would
typically leave at maximum
app will warn you if you have
sub-optimal exports so you can export
that's an option right next to effects
here in the app when you click export
you can essentially tell it what image
type you want to fit the preview area
which is generally what you're going to
want to do that's the default and then
just click export
uh the size and DPI are customizable and
I called this an AI tool that was how it
was introduced to me by a viewer so um
you know you guys when you guys message
me email me comment if you have
something cool to show me like it may
end up in a video that's how this one
started somebody shared it with me and
shared a couple other really cool uh AI
tools with me as well but um
I forget his name because um it was a
European name that uh was not a
traditional American name so I forget it
but uh the guy was really nice in
walking me through how to use this app
and he said it's not technically AI
though so I will uh quote him there
um so here we go back to effects we can
set like a gradient you can do halftone
which is kind of crazy here
um The Duo tone we already looked at and
metamorphosis is almost like allowing us
to adjust the pattern uh honestly I
think it almost looks better to use the
metamorphosis uh horizontal set to zero
it looks like it gave us a little bit
more space or did I just dream that no
that set it back to the default uh if we
move the metamorphosis maybe it's kind
of increasing the gaps there I don't
know you guys can play around but one of
the coolest things is how many different
tiling patterns there are so the first
one is called weave there's
the default I should say is called weave
okay but there's base tilings and then
there's Advanced tilings all right so
the there's categories there's seamless
which I think is going to be most useful
to us print on demand sellers uh seemed
and then under Advanced there's also
seamless and seamed Okay so
um facade fake Aid I probably pronounced
that wrong now I look stupid uh cross so
it's actually like blending the Bullhead
into itself there
um pyramid so it's creating like
Honeycombs you can get real artsy here
uh an actual honeycomb here that looks
really cool
uh seamed so you have a rectangle grid
but you'll notice that it looks no no
that's not seamless because you can see
the majority of the guy's head on the so
that is not seamless but you can play
around with this obviously there's so
many it's tough to be like an expert in
all them oblique grid Diamond grid
hexagon grid playing cards fence so if
you had like a brand logo too you could
pop it in here and make some like pretty
cool patterns with your brand logo as
well
centipede zigzag roof tile tapestry Q
wiggle
jester
Bonbon is looking crazy so I mean some
of these patterns get real crazy
weave that's the one that we were
looking at before
bow tie windmill
Cloverfield which is like super zoomed
into the Bull's Head and if we like
select this guys by the way and then we
start playing with like the rotation
you know I'm saying like you can do some
really cool stuff here there's fan which
looks very similar to Cloverfield looks
like it's just rotated a little bit and
then under Advanced tilings we have the
octagon
our best
ladder
Cairo
cross weave
cross fake Aid
cross brick
Echo tile
Echo tartan
Diamond Penrose and under seamed you
have the half brick
and the Penrose which turned it into and
I mean this is just one you know image
that I uploaded by the way so I uploaded
that Bull's Head image I think I got it
from vexels and if I go back actually to
the collections I just wanted to show
you guys if you just want to play around
you can look at the demo projects and
they've got images already uploaded uh
here for us to use to play around with
so we can select any of these that we
think might look good and kind of just
play around so I can choose like this
one and then from here really up to me
and by the way like you can
you can mess with the image itself over
here on the left hand side like look at
how I'm changing all of the the patterns
and whatnot all I'm doing on the very
left hand side there
is I'm just moving around the selection
mechanism to different parts of the base
image you can also expand it to select
more and more of that base image or
contract it to select less and less so
guys I mean it's there's infinite
possibilities here with regards to what
you can do with Ripper I wanted to share
it because
um sorry I forget who exactly shared it
with me my email inbox can get a little
crazy at times but you know I do check
it out and I thought this was cool I
wanted to pass it along let me know if
you guys end up creating any seamless
patterns using it because that is
definitely an untapped
potential to make sales in terms of us
print on demand sellers you know it's a
lot easier to create like a static
graphic that just sits in the middle of
a T-shirt and I'm not knocking that
that's by far how I make the majority of
my sales but I feel like I've got you
know the room to expand into more
pattern style designs and I was kind of
at a at a loss for how I was going to
make them though you know what I mean to
make them actually seamless and now it's
as simple as just going to tiling here
in repper and then going up to the
seamless uh patterns up there in the top
left and just selecting which one I like
or you know you can keep editing it as
well so guys I hope you'll check it out
the link is in the description thank you
for watching this video uh check out my
new private membership Community if
you're interested the sale ends tonight
it is currently 50 off and then the
price goes back up to full price I'll
leave a link to that in the description
as well guys thanks for watching I'll
see you tomorrow
