In this lesson you will learn how to create a seamless pattern using your own hand-drawn elements in Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer. This engaging class will challenge you in creating textured patterns that will stand out from other patterns. You will be able to see how easy it is to create something beautiful in a few simple steps. In this class I will also encourage you to start your own Spoonflower shop, to enter the challenges so that your work can be exposed to others.

Why Affinity Designer and Affinity Photo?

If you are a new designer or even an expert you will be saving a lot of money. There is a lifetime cost of £50 (depending on the deals), which is better than paying a monthly subscription of £20-£40 for the Adobe suite. Affinity can save files as a PSD which works in the Adobe suite which is what you will need if you want to license your designs. If you have learnt how to use the Adobe suite already Affinity is very similar and you will learn in no time!

What is a Seamless Pattern?

A seamless pattern is a pattern that repeats continuously, through this repeat you will not be able to see the start or the finish of the pattern (the seam). I will show you how to do this in this class.

In this class you will learn...

1. How to edit your drawings in Affinity Photo

2. Place your drawings into a seamless repeat pattern in Affinity Designer

3. How to use your own drawings/elements to create a textured background

4. How to test your pattern and upload it onto a Print on Demand site.
