Create a simple geometric pattern in Photoshop

Start with a canvas of any size. Select your favorite colors for your pattern's theme in the Color Swatches panel. Here I am using the following colors:# Ab9c4d, #bach9a9, #fn3fkf, and #f2d60

Select the Polygon Tool or Custom Shape Tool (U) to create a 100 x 100-pixel triangle shape. Use the first orange color for the triangle and place it in the upper left corner.

Duplicate the shape three times by pressing Ctrl + J. Change the colors according to your theme, and then add a copy of the first triangle at the end of your row. Use the Crop Tool (C) to cut the canvas next to the first and last triangles.

Select all shapes and duplicate them. Draw the second row of triangles at the bottom to the left of the first row. Then select your pattern and go to Edit> Define Pattern to create a new pattern and use the Rectangular Marquee Tool (M).

Set the pattern to the Paint Bucket Tool (G) pattern to test your new design.
