Welcome to the ultimate pattern party! Your project for this class is to design your own party-themed half-drop pattern using Affinity Designer V2 for Spoonflower. Let your imagination run wild as you explore vibrant colors, festive elements, and playful motifs to create a pattern that screams celebration!

Here's how to get started:

Grab the Downloads: Access additional resources and downloadable templates on Notion. Simply open the provided PDF guide and click on the "Grab the Downloads" link to access your downloads directly on Notion. Use these resources to enhance your design process and take your pattern to the next level.
Choose Your Theme: Select a party theme that inspires you. Whether it's a birthday bash, a tropical luau, or a lively fiesta, the possibilities are endless!
Gather Inspiration: Dive into our curated collection of party-themed images on Unsplash to spark your creativity. Explore patterns, textures, and colors that resonate with your chosen theme.
Design Your Pattern: Fire up Affinity Designer V2 and start designing! Experiment with different layout options, motifs, and color schemes to bring your party-themed vision to life.
Refine and Perfect: Fine-tune your design to ensure seamless repeats and balanced compositions. Pay attention to details like scale, alignment, and color harmony to create a polished pattern.
Share Your Creation: Once your pattern is complete, share it with the class! Upload images of your design to the project gallery and don't forget to share your process and inspiration behind your creation.

VERSION NOTE:

Affinity is now on Designer V3, and the V2 iPad app isn’t available for new downloads.
You can take this class using:

V2 for iPad (if you already have it installed)
V3 for desktop (currently available and free)

The interfaces aren’t identical, but they’re close enough to follow along comfortably.

Get ready to unleash your inner pattern designer and create something truly unique and festive. So put on your party hat, grab your digital paintbrush, and let's make some pattern magic together!
