50+ Very Useful Free Vector Illustrator Patterns And Resources From 2010
August 6, 2010 | Thoughts & Words By Sneh Roy | 18 Comments
In my recent jaunts on the interwebs, I have come across some great vector freebies. I have handpicked a few that are free for personal and commercial use (with some requiring mere credits). In this little roundup today, I am listing 50+ awesome free vector illustrator patterns, seamless and otherwise. These are perfect for the scenes and texture treatments in my 365 vector character projet and am really enjoying using them. The 18th set is a very recent vector grunge set which is not technically a pattern or swatch but works beautifully on my vector backgrounds. I have also listed some resources and tutorials that teach you to make seamless vector patterns with absolute ease. Have a browse and download the patterns from the original source pages. Remember to read their terms and conditions before you use them. With the exception of a couple which are from late 2009, most are from 2010.
