Show off your artwork on a product of your dreams.

ASSIGNMENT

Show off your artwork on a product of your dreams! Your assignment is to create a mock-up that shows your illustrated pattern or design on a product you love. Your imagination is the limit.

When I first started out as a surface designer, seeing my work on products felt magical. With this assignment, I hope to help you bridge that gap between your 2D artwork and the beautiful, tangible world all around us — and capture that magic with your own work!

Share your vision however you'd like: templates, sketches, or mockups. Have fun!

DELIVERABLE

Share your process in the project gallery. A completed project will include:

Moodboard
Drawings
Dream Product (mock-ups or sketches)

Note: While the focus of this class is pattern design, feel free to use your illustrations, graphic designs, or (if you just want to practice) the provided sample swatches.
