Diamond & Crystal Patterns in Adobe Illustrator - Graphic Design for Lunch™

Graphic Design for Lunch™ is a series of short video courses you can study in bite size pieces such as at lunchtime. In this course you'll learn to turn simple sketches of diamonds and crystals into vector objects in Illustrator and to then make seamless repeating patterns from them. You will learn to take your vectorized shapes and color them using the Live Paint tool and then create patterns from them. This class also incorporates some useful techniques using the Recolor Artwork tool including how to adjust the image saturation and brightness.

The course is taught step by step - I’ll give you starter sketches to use - so that, by the end of the class you will have a range of finished designs ready to use. Along the way you will also have learned handy tips and techniques for working in Illustrator every day.
