ABOUT THIS CLASS
Would you like to leverage your favorite travel memories into a stunning and cohesive mini pattern collection? In this class, you’ll learn how to capture the essence of your favorite destination and design a collection of 3 patterns to pitch to a company, sell on print on demand sites or simply to create your own personal projects!
YOU WILL LEARN
- the importance of creating in collections
- the components of a pattern collection
- how to brainstorm and gather your inspiration
- the preliminary sketch process
- color palettes for pattern collections and how to design multiple colorways
- how to illustrate your motifs in Procreate
- how to export, vectorize and color your motifs in Adobe Illustrator
- how to construct repeating patterns for your own mini collection
- how to use mockups in Adobe Photoshop to showcase your patterns
- how to name your patterns and colorways and create a logo for your collection
- how to write a story for your collection
YOU WILL CREATE a pattern mini collection of 3 patterns in two colorways including a hero print, coordinate print and blender print that you can use to pitch to companies, sell on print on demand sites, enter in art challenges, develop your surface design portfolio or use for your own personal projects!
WHY YOU SHOULD TAKE THIS CLASS: Designing a mini pattern collection is a great way to:
- present your artwork to potential buyers and increase your chances of securing licensing opportunities.
- Develop aesthetically and thematically cohesive patterns which can be mixed and matched on a variety of products like fabric, stationery, fashion and home décor.
- develop a more polished sense of color, balance, and cohesiveness and make your work more appealing and sophisticated.
- tell a compelling story, unlike a simple stand-alone pattern
- The creation of a mini collections is easier and faster to create and less overwhelming, complex and time consuming than a full collection but still allows the artist to explore a theme and create an impactful family of patterns. A mini collection can always be expanded upon later on if a full collection is desired.
- Jamie Alexander will provide insight into her artistic process that has led to her designs being sold through a variety of partners.
THIS CLASS IS PERFECT FOR
- aspiring and established artists who wish to create a mini collection on an inspiring theme
- students who already have a basic knowledge of Procreate and Adobe Illustrator
- students who already know how to make a basic repeating pattern. (While I will walk you through the construction of my patterns, I am assuming you have already made a few patterns before.)
- Whether you intend to use your collection to generate income or simply for personal joy, this class is for you!
MATERIALS/ RESOURCES
Jamie will be using Procreate on the iPad Pro and Adobe Illustrator on the computer to design, export and finalize her motifs and patterns. She will also demonstrate how to use a mockup to showcase your pattern collection in Adobe Photoshop. It is recommended to have a basic familiarity with these programs and to already have at least basic knowledge of creating a repeating pattern.
