grids

i've been surfing the web showcase portion of this site and i've see that grids are extremely popular and i think they look really cool.... but i have no idea how to make this effect.

could someone tell me how? thanks

Simple...

In photoshop, on a transparent canvas.. 50x50, zoom all the way
Using the line tool, make the following lines and make a selection..



Edit > Define Pattern

then just fill in using fill tool to the place where u want to have the grid.

Hope this helps

You can make a 5x5, 10x10, 15x15 (whatever you like as long as the width and height are the same) transparent image.

Ctrl+A to select the whole square
Edit > Stroke (stroke with any color)
Edit > Define Pattern

After you have done this you can just fill selections with the grid whenever you want. I've read many ways to do this but I like this way the best.

k thanks
