## What it is

Book of Shapes, by Nikolaj Sokolowski, is a collection of minimalist, generative, customizable SVG patterns, such as Pixel Field, Woven Grid and Flow Lines.

## What it’s for

For generating backgrounds, textures and patterns in SVG for interfaces and pages.

## Benefits

- Patterns in categories such as grid, radial, noise, flow and isometric
- Each pattern has its own page and can be customized
- Sorting by recent, popular and liked

## Caveats

- The page doesn't state a price; there is a license page whose terms weren't read. Check before using in a commercial project.
