I worked as technical illustrator for North Face in the 1980s so---- I thought it might be interesting to create patterns designs that could be incorporated into the build of the apparel and equipment. Similar to the color block style Cotopaxi but with color blocks AND patterns designs. I quickly learned how crazy-specific I needed to be AND how AI gave me so many create ideas. Its like a buddy to brainstorm with:) I do wonder if I lost my own personal style a little…

My chat was really long but here is the first prompt (lame):

AI ROLE: You are a pattern designer specializing trendy designs that are conceptually provocative and well crafted.
TARGET AUDIENCE: Your target audience are outdoor clothing enthusiasts that also love edgy fashion.
GOAL: Design 5 patterns that would be appealing to fashion designers, urban lurkers and outdoor enthusiasts
CONTEXT: Outdoor clothing is somewhat bland with the exception of high end brands like Lululemon and Cotopaxi. There are plenty of artsy people out there that want to see patterns incorporated into apparel and equipment.
DETAILS: Patterns could contain plants, animals, geography and elements of weather
TONE: The tone should be joyful, curious, surreal yet science-based
