1. Introduction: Hi, I am evil Hungary of surface pattern designer illustrator based on barely in Germany. I began my surface pattern design carrier last year, and I created in this short time a lot of battles for fabrics and, for example, baby products. I believe in everyday learning, creating, and I like trying new techniques. My last success was a sport flower challenge, the Victorian era. It was my first bold flower challenge, and I want it. It was a beautiful feeling. I hope in my class I can show you some tricks and techniques which can help you to learn the pattern basics. I choose a simple topic, and I am sure you will have success with it. Let's get started.
2. Inspiration and color palette: I'm a big fan off being depressed. I created the board with my favorite Kim flash inspirations. As you can see, some of them are more traditional, some of them more innovative. You can find the link in the description. I think, for this project. The nature is the best inspiration now, I assure you how you can create your own color. Choose an image and copies create a new document. In Illustrator, you see a mark your car, that base that you mean the camera. Flash patterns usually content four cars, so that's great for rectangles. Make one that's selected with the selection toe for the R key and you can replicate it said at the first rectangle and with the I report will choose a bright color, then choose that could colors for the other rectangles. If you are not satisfied with one color, they kind of cannot become. You can change the cover there, you the situation, the brightness very quickly
3. Illustrator basics: in this section, I talk about the music doors which will be used in this grass. We create a new document usually actually still sells and pig cells by 2000 pixels and see him like a color mode for printing its first. I want to show you direct and go toe the first way to use if you drew a rectangle and by the color, because you can change the color off, create an object without through the second way to use direct ago tool If you click and a document, and now you can write the size. Which one toe, for example, of 2000 excels by 2000 Exas rectum, the most important toe in illustrator the selection toe. You can find it in the to a bar or press me with the selection. You can sell it, then move the objects. If you hold the shift key, you can scare the object, and with the store you can easily eroded. The graphics is she who are the heart. You can duplicate the objects even used a razor to list with the stool you can make from one orchard. Smaller ships. The next tool is the ID Roberto. With this true, you can easily pick up on your color. The layer spent all shows you the order off the objects. I put my shapes on each other. If you want to change the order after shapes, you can make it under layers. Panel. The other possibility. Read Klink orange, and you can choose four options. Sent a bag drinks. You object to the background. Drink the front brings you object to the four count send backboard moves an object by object to the back off the stick. Bring forward moves an object by object in the front off the stage. Denied. Click transform graph. Let you got half left. The objects were to Carney or holy sometime. If you create the dose you used to Palos the switches and 1/2 I know by the Align panel. There are a lot of options, but we use horizontal on, I said and Vertical Alliance Center. If I create better homes, I always clear my specials panel because so I can easily find my betters in the document. And if I send it for my client, it contains just the prince virtues at Quicken, the first color I hold the shift key, I click and the last color. And now I can delete this Matri's. I think we showed all of the rules which will be used. If you have any questions, feel free to contact.
4. Pattern basics: by the patterns, you have to learn to basic rules. The 1st 1 If an object overlap stretch, it must appear on the other side as well. If it happens, you have to copy the object in the article or in horizontal direction. Let's see an example. Create a circle, and I put it on the left edge. As you can see, it overlaps Tej, so I have to copied on the right egx, I said at the circle with the selection tool. Then I go to the objects transformed. Move. My basic rectangle is five inches by five inches, so I write five inches horizontal zero injuries vertical. Then I click under copy. As you can see, the distances from the edges are the same. What happens if I put an object to the corner? As you can see, it overlaps the top and the left edge to, so we have the capital object to the right side. Enter the bottom as well. At first, go to the object transfer, move and copy the object in the horizontal direction. What isn't five inches. Martic are zero we can copy. We have to repeat this step in the other direction selling both circles as we learned with the selection toe and hoarding the shift key. Then go to the object. Transform. Move. What is that? Placido Interest. Bertha got five inches, then click on the copy. The second rule. Everything must be all kind for this role. We have to clarify what it means in a state, or we have fierce and strokes. For example, I create a circle with light green field and black stroke. Or with the mental, I can create stroke, a smell. The strokes don't have outlines, and it can cause a problem is always I create from the background a clipping mask. It seems to be okay, but if I click on the crab, the strokes disappear. I assure you how you can fix this problem. Senate everything. Go to the object and expand the right click and on group. If you repeat the process, even receive Arial pattern
5. Sample packs for easier work: First of all, I want to show you Fritos, which can make your work easier, and the results better at first. The call or guide This guide is on eight injuries by eight inches. Switch printed off basic cut on water with 170 even colors, and they're hacks. Courts. If you choose the color from this color charts, you can be sure that your pattern we have the same color on basic cattle at this time. It cost $1. This is a good and cheap toe to choose the right colors. I adore Bonnie's example Back each back convinces apple off each off the fabrics and paper sprinted with the same design as you can see. The printing results dependent on the weight off the frantic you choose if you have a special project, for example, a client bit special requirements you can take into consideration the characteristics off the fabrics you can find under back off. Example. Very useful informations Example of the coast and support for our $3 it is worth for this price. The last one is another example big. It gives us our balls off order types off my drinks. War papers and give reps. They're all printed differently. You can see the difference between how something prints. For example, on sport like Rob and on other fabrics, - you have two possibilities to design your patterns. First, I want to show my technique, so I create my pattern since seeing like a C M I K colors in illustrator, usually two cells and big science by 2000 Big Sauce The resolution is free 100 db I. At the end, I changed a color saying for the shop in archery be removed. At the end, I saved images in Jeep back. The second option is if you create your bedrooms in energy, becomes more using the hex courts from examples, and at the end you save the images in cheap bag in photo shop, energy colored wood in the social media, for example. In Facebook groups, I over read this comment. It looks nice on the screen, but my examples don't have the same color. Let's see how you can avoid this situation. I visited the spoon flour factory here in Berlin, and they print with CMR Kay and Sidell Color sprinting be dismantled. They can reproduce a bigger area than to see a market colors, but not or off the RGB colors. Let's see what is the difference between air Chibi colors and see like colors. Normally the CIA. Mighty colors for printing the edge of the colors for your screen. Your screen shows you more colors than the printable powers. For the uploading to the spoon flour, it is important that you're fine. Must be smaller than 40 megabytes and by the applauding, please always choose air GB cutter. I assure you a bad example. I created it extra for this class, so please don't do it. As you can see, I choose very bright colors, and it seems to be okay, but it can be reproduced if somebody orders it from the spoon. Flour will be satisfied because on the screen it looks very bright. Very nice for saturated, but the prince dissolution of their the other. If you observe these rules, you can be sure that you receive beautiful fabrics. You and your customers were satisfied
