A tessellation is an image that has an arrangement of one image closely fitted together to form a pattern almost like carpet. I created a tessellation by creating a grid layout of guides that were suitable to the amount of symmetry I wanted. For example, 2 columns for a four inch pattern, 4 columns for an 2 inch pattern, and 8 columns for a 1 inch pattern. I then placed a cropped image in a single square, then rotated and flipped duplicates appropriately to create a symmetric square pattern. To make the process faster I then copied them into a row and made that a single layer. This makes it so that you only need to copy the row # amount of times. One thing I like about tesselations is how it can change one single image and make it into something completely different. My favorite image is the tree bark. There were no struggles after reading the instructions. If I had to do this over again, I would take different pictures of objects with various shapes and colors.
