"Subtle Patterns, created and curated by\u00A0Atle Mo, is one of the most beautiful and useful pattern resource I've ever seen. If you haven't seen it yet, and work as a Web designer, you're about to get your background handed to you.\r\n\r\nAs the name implies, the patterns available on this site are subtle and highly refined. Everything is absolutely free (free as in speech and free as in beer). What you see is all yours to love and to hold and to use for any client projects you have coming up.\r\n\r\nAs you browse the site, you'll notice that the patterns are all neutral, if not full on black and white. They vary from a polished and geometric style, to more natural textures and organic styles.\r\n\r\nSome of my favorites upon first look include Groovepaper, Wood Pattern, Subtle Zebra 3D\u00A0and Classy Fabric. If you have any patterns of your own that you feel are worthy of the already impressive selection, you're welcome to submit your own here!\r\n\r\nAs with every design freebie site, it can be tedious to have to download each resource by hand. So if you fall head over keyboard for what you see on the first page, you have the\u00A0convenient\u00A0option to download everything that's live on the site as a\u00A0Photoshop pattern file.\r\n\r\nWhy the site was made, according to the creator:\r\nThere has always been great resources available online for designers and developers, and I\u2019ve been using these myself since I started making websites some twelve years ago \u2013 that\u2019s the fantastic thing about the web community. Now I\u2019m using Subtle Patterns as my way of giving back to the next (and current) generation of web designers and developers or anyone else who needs some high quality patterns.\r\n\u27A4 \u00A0Subtle Patterns\r\n\r\nCheck out the site and let us know if you have any favorite patterns to share. Is this the best resource out there for patterns? Try and prove me wrong ;).\r\n\r\nFor more inspiration, check out TNW\u2019s\u00A0Design and Dev\u00A0channel."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
