Waving Checkered

[102RCR]

Anyone know where I can find a seamless waving checkered flag tile? Have a customer that wants semi fenders covered. I have just a checkered pattern, and I can find a "waving" flag. I can't find one that is seamless or one that won't look funny when blown up to fit.

Thank you

What design software are you using? In Corel I'd look at the Envelope Tool. Assuming your checkered pattern is vector

I use Flexi and AI I was hoping to find just a seamless tile without manually creating one. That might be my only option though..

Just google Checkered tile vector - pretty sure you can find a free vector package for what you are requesting.

Creating a tiling pattern in AI is pretty easy. Personally I like the cValley FilterIt warping tool because it has so many adjustable options. Illustrator + cValley = easy to create wave patterns. (FilterIt only works with vector, of course). cValley has a fully functioning 15 day trial version: FILTERiT - Adobe Illustrator Plugin | CValley if you want to go that route -- or just use Illustrator by itself. Here's a tutorial for creating seamless patterns in Illustrator: How to create patterns in Illustrator

that pattern i showed you WAS AN EXAMPLE.......... now your in the business....so VECTORIZING shouldnt be a problem. or redraw lines in corel draw......create your own..... 5 minutes in corel was all i spent on this.............it is vector(converted to jpg to post here)

Takes 2 minutes in Illustrator. Try this:

1. Draw a grid of checkered squares, 2x2, 8x8, etc. depending on the scale you want the waves to be.
2. Effect > Warp > Flag > 5-10% or so
3. Object > Pattern > Make
4. Adjust the height setting for the pattern so it matches the width. It starts off a bit higher due to the height of the waves.

That's it. You're done.
