Adobe has some pretty cool stuff in the works for Illustrator CS6 and one feature I’m excited for is the pattern creation.

The first Vector Mill crate of the year is live! I’ve made some slight changes to the crates so this new one is the first in a series of themed crates. The theme of this crate is Mid-Century Modern. It’s packed with a bunch of great resources for that vintage mid-century modern look. If your not going for that retro look, these elements can be used in a bunch of other styles so it’s worth checking out.
