Hi

So, I've made a pattern that I really like but It was declined because it was messy. I understand that moderators on this cite only accept the most valuable patterns, but I've had 6 other patterns declined for the same reason. What should I change to make my patterns cleaner?
Thanks 🙂

I can’t see your pattern, but I’ve had patterns declined before for that when I first started making patterns, and typically it’s because they have sort of a randomness to them, whereas other patterns will have symmetry or a clear pattern. Maybe try cleaning up the random knots so it looks nicer? I could be wrong though 🙂

@Sarah246 Thanks for the advice. My most recent pattern was of the 'bubly' sparkling water logo, so I'm not sure how to change it, which is the problem. I appreciate your opinion though. 😊

For logos always make sure to add "logo" as the first tag so people know it's a logo. It's more likely to be accepted then.

If you have Instagram you can send me a screenshot of the declined patterns there and I can tell you what to improve. My Instagram is pride.pixels

@halokiwi Thanks for the tip. Sorry but I don't have Instagram, I'll try resubmitting it with logo in the describing words section. 🙂

It's hard to tell what you need to change without being able to see the pattern. If you're using the 'From Image' when making a pattern, maybe you could look at a tutorial in the 'Tutorials' section called "How to tweak patterns" by Adik; which is really helpful.
If you really are still unsure, you could always reach out to the moderator that declined your pattern(s) and I'm sure they'll be able to help you further. 🙂

When it comes to logos too a thing we look for is consistency. So for instance bubly has two ‘b’s in it. So we would look at it and see if both b’s are knotted the same- if not is there any reason that would be the case, ie. is the second ‘b’ a different font? is there a special design it it? For the bubly logo the

😑 sorry hit enter. For the bubly logo they are the same and there are no visual design differences. So to make the pattern easier for users to tie we would look to see if they are knotted the same and if not we would ask you to ‘clean it up’ or you may get the pre- generated message that your pattern is ‘messy’.

@Margaron Thanks for the tip 🙂. That's something I had no idea about, but it totally makes sense why you would decline a pattern for that reason. I will keep all these suggestion in mind for future patterns. 😊
