This is a technique that I learned from my very first art teacher when I was about 7 years old :) I still use it every day in any visual design I am working on and I hope you will find it helpful as well. 

What is Eyelash Technique? I made that term up, by the way ;)
It's simple, just squint your eyes when you are designing a repeat pattern or any design really and look THROUGH your eyelashes at your work. All of a sudden, smaller details disappear and the composition and color contrast becomes more prominent and you can see the mistakes easier.

I hope you will find my eyelash technique useful as well :) Please let me know if the comments if you liked my graphic design tips and tricks. 

Thanks for watching!
