Your project is to create a pattern design following the key principles you’ll learn throughout this class.

My recommendation is to start with a pattern design that has a variety of motifs so that you can practice various valuable design fundamentals we’ll talk about. It doesn’t have to be too complex. Just start with something you’re comfortable with and then make gradual progress.

Once you’re done and ready to share your artwork go to the project and resources section of the class and click on create project button.

Share with us how your final pattern looks in a repeat and how you prepared a promotion-ready design that you’ll be sending to clients. I’d also love to hear about your process and what you’ve learned as well as if there was something you struggled with in the past and now were able to improve. Last but not least, if you’re not quite happy with your final pattern and there are some areas you’re not sure how to improve, I’m here for you, just point them out and in the project comments, I’ll give you my best advice on how to work on them further.

As I always say, the best way to learn is to do it. And the best thing about Skillshare is that you’re not doing it alone. So, let’s start. I can not wait to see what you’ll create.
