Your Own Design On Clothing!

ASSIGNMENT:

I would love to see your pattern on clothes! Put your own pattern design on a photo you’ve taken yourself or a picture from the web to show how wonderful your artwork would look in the real world :)

DELIVERABLE:

Share your design in the class gallery for feedback. Please include the following:

Your own pattern design that you would like to visualise on a piece of garment
Picture used for mockup (don't forget to indicate a source of your image)
Final artwork
(optional) A link/screenshot to your site/portfolio where you've used your new work.

If you have any other techniques and tips you would like to share with the fellow students, please, post them also!

I just can't wait to see your patterns designs even before your final visualisation is ready! Please, share your creations with the class! Let's get to know each other :)
