Hi all, I have recently transformed my article-order website into one which will cater to both writers and those looking for writers. As a manager for my writing team I find myself offering writing tips and thought that I could pass some knowledge on for free. However, I havent started blogging them yet as I am still in the re-designing phase. www.Antony-Hayes.com I would like to create a tribal graphic pattern which will sit vertically along the left hand side of my blog/pages. It will sit just below the header and above the bottom bar. I am sure it would be possible to create one easily enough, however I need tips not only on how to create one, but to do it so that it will replicate itself smoothly to reach to the bottom (especially for long blog pages). I havent tried it out yet, so it may look tacky, however on the other hand it could prove to just add that little interactive touch for the readers. All advice or criticisms appreciated. Regards, A. Hayes.
I'd use the pen tool in either photoshop or illustrator to get the effect desired. It may be much easier to just find one on the net. But if you want to be original it can be done. You just need to learn the pen tool to make the smooth curves and such that are found in tribal patterns.
