Designed by page layout guru David Blatner, this free plug-in brings high quality PostScript patterns to InDesign.

Fill any frame with a pattern, then modify, tweak and reinvent each pattern into unlmited variations!

PatternMaker comes with 15 patterns – from basketweaves to scallops to concentric circles to a field of dots – and each pattern comes with its own set of custom controls.
Here are some key features of "PatternMaker":
Highly Customizable
Adjust size, shift gaps between elements, increase "jitter" -- each pattern has its own set of controls, all accessible through one simple palette.
Custom Controls for Each Pattern
One simple palette lets you modify all the different parameters in each pattern.
Native InDesign Effects
Drop shadow, feathering, skew, shear and all other native InDesign effects can be applied to the patterns with incredible results!
3 Free Patterns
PatternMaker includes three patterns that you can use absolutely free!

What's New:
PatternMaker now plays nicely with INX and InDesign CS2 libraries.  
Also, due to issues on the Mac side, we don't show our splash screen on startup anymore.

Requirements:
InDesign 2.
