Learn a new surface pattern design technique in Photoshop which will enable you to quickly and easily create tons of unique awesome organic patterns for print and digital projects!

Organic abstract patterns are mesmerising, trendy and extremely versatile in their application. And whilst they might seem to be very time-consuming to create, they don’t have to be!

In this class I will show you a quick and easy process of generating organic abstract patterns using smart filters in Adobe Photoshop. This technique will allow you to create as many different organic patterns as you want, each of them being unique and random, and all of this without needing to draw hundreds of elements!

In this class you'll learn:

how to use a combination of smart filters in Adobe Photoshop to generate organic abstract patterns;
how to adjust these filters and customise your organic patterns;
how to edit your patterns to make them seamlessly repeatable;
how to define, manage and use pattern presets in Adobe Photoshop;
how to optimise your Photoshop workflow and take full advantage of Smart Objects, Smart Filters and Colour and Pattern Fill Layers;
how to save your patterns for print & web;
how to apply additional effects to your finished patterns to take them a step further.

By the end of the class you will have your own organic abstract patterns, which you can then use to create your own range of print-on-demand products, incorporate into branding or packaging projects, use in illustrations and digital collages, or any other way you can think of!

This class is for anyone who wants to add a new image-making and surface pattern design technique to their creative arsenal, and learn a few new Photoshop tricks along the way!

I cannot wait to see what you create with this Photoshop technique! Join in and let's make some awesome organic patterns!
