PLEASE NOTE: This class was published in 2017 and is now archived. Some resources or information may be outdated but we still think you'll find value in following along with the skills taught in this class. While we are no longer offering support for questions or comments, we’d love for you to explore our newer classes, where you’ll find updated content, fresh inspiration, and a more interactive learning experience!

PLEASE NOTE: If you're new to Illustrator, I would love to have you join me in my other Skillshare courses! Both Intro to Surface Pattern Design and Surface Pattern Design 2.0 are very comprehensive. This course will assume that you're either competent in Illustrator or that you've taken these two courses first. :)

ASSIGNMENT

The assignment for this course is to create a single illustration (or repeating pattern), presented in 3 different color options. Carefully color your illustration to make sure that it has 1) enough contrast 2) enough colors 3) enough neutrals. Choosing a color palette that is unique and engaging will make your final illustration (or pattern!) beautiful!

DELIVERABLE

When you're ready, begin uploading your process and final pattern to the student project gallery. A complete student project should include:

A short bio + intro to your project - we want to get to know you!
Three proposed color palettes, each consisting of 8-16 colors (feel free to include a photos if you used one as well!)
Your final illustration or pattern, colored 3 ways.
Feel free to view my project to use as an example.

WHAT YOU'LL NEED

All you'll need for this course is Adobe Illustrator (begin a free trial here)! This class is taught in Adobe CC, though any version should work! :)
