JACKMORE
Lisa Jackmore
Lisa Jackmore decided to use her photo of a hand-painted decoration with
asymmetries as the basis for a pattern brush. It would be impossible to match all of
the castle fragments perfectly (figure a ), so in Photoshop she used the Clone Stamp
tool to remove most of the castle motifs, leaving only the one complete castle. After
cropping the image, Jackmore opened it in Illustrator, rotated it, then dragged it into
the Brushes panel to create a pattern brush. In Pattern Brush Options she chose
Auto-Centered Corner Tile, which formed the pattern well but resulted in a distorted
auto-generated corner (figure b ). To generate a smooth corner, Jackmore went
back to Photoshop and used the Clone Stamp Tool—this time completely removing
the castle—then used this altered version to make a new pattern (figure c ).
