Unlock the secrets to designing elegant and modern trailing floral patterns in Adobe Illustrator. This class is perfect for anyone looking to expand their pattern design skills, whether you're a beginner or an experienced designer.

We'll start by exploring effective methods for finding inspiration and developing strong conceptual foundations. You'll learn to construct and utilise the versatile Ogee template, a classic tool for creating sophisticated layouts. Then, I'll guide you through the process of sketching your designs, either on paper or in Procreate, and seamlessly transferring them to Illustrator for digital refinement.

I'll provide some useful tips for colour palette selection and dive deep into the Pattern Tool to create flawless, repeating patterns. Discover how to generate multiple colourways to offer a range of design options and learn to apply your patterns to realistic mockups, visualising them on various surfaces.

Throughout the class, you'll receive valuable tips and techniques to streamline your workflow and elevate your design process. By the end, you'll be equipped to create stunning trailing floral patterns that add a touch of modern elegance to your projects.
