Meet Your Teacher
Hi there everybody!
My name's Júlia Ferrer and I am Print Designer and also the CEO & Founder of Sunsmith Studio, based in Barcelona (Catalunya, Spain). Print design is my passion and I am the soul of the studio and the one in charge that everything looks nice and ready.
Formed in Surface Pattern Design and Textiles by the Staffordshire University and CAD for Textiles by the Nottingham Trent University (United Kingdom). I started my career as a freelancer as soon as I finished my studies, developing projects for brands and collaborating with other print studios internationally. In 2019 with some experience behind my back, I decided to found Sunsmith Studio where I prepare collections of original patterns for textiles with the help of my lovely little team...

Hands-on Class Project
Yes, you heard it well! We'll create an original repeat pattern, and that's not the end, we're also going to get it printed in a real duvet cover to make your naps look as cool as you are.
How do we’ll do that? Easy peasy! I’ll be with you in every step of the creative process, and I'll share with you some of my top tips and favourite tools I use when I'm designing.
- Researching for trends and inspiration
- Browse on Pinterest (you can also have a look at the board I've created for this class)
- Inspire yourself in patterns specialised websites like Patternbank or Pattern Curator. There you can find some pattern examples, colour palettes, moodboards and trend reports.
- Creating the concept design and a stunning colour palette
- If you find a lovely photograph, you can extract the main colour palette using this fantastic tool called Canva Color Palette Generator.
- Drawing motives and elements for the patternÂ
- Tip: Draw different scale motives and also draw little elements like spots or geometric forms; it would be useful to fill the gaps while creating your composition later.
- Want to have the best brushes ever created on Procreate? Check out Bardot Brushes! My favourite kits are the Midcentury and the Pencil Box ones. But there are a lot of them, so it's up to you!
- Repeating them all around in Illustrator
- I always put my canvas size on the real size of the product (in this case 2x2m) and CMYK (because it needs to be printed).Â
- Feel like knowing a bit more about repeats? Have a look onto this post from Denise Anne's blog, it explains some different kinds of patterns, so it can be useful information for you while working in your repeat.
- Exporting and printing
- Remember always 300 dpi and CMYK!
And now we just need to enjoy our exclusive duvet set! Share your work in progress and any doubts or feedback in comments, it will really help me to improve my future classes!
If you’re on Instagram, I really encourage you to share it there too with the hashtag #juliaferrerskillshare so I can see all of your outcomes and share it in my profile @juliaferrersoler (where you can also, of course, follow the work I do!) :D
