Join me in this class where we learn that maintaining organization of our creative work will help us also maintain inspiration and proficiency.

Working on something as huge as an entire surface design collection can feel overwhelming. With so many elements, motifs, colors, designs, and tabs open it can be really difficult to get focused and find a workflow that’s proficient. In this class, we’ll be covering why having a system is important, how to organize your files, and the workflow I use to create a surface pattern design collection.

PLEASE NOTE: This class was published in 2020 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 Some resources or information may be outdated but we still think you'll find value in following along with the skills taught in this class.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 such as How to Design Gift Wrap, where you’ll find updated content, fresh inspiration, and a more interactive learning experience!

This class doesn’t cover the technical learning aspect of designing collections, rather the workflow and file organization you’ll use once you’ve learned the design skills. If you're new to Illustrator, be sure to take Intro to Surface Pattern Design and Surface Pattern Design 2.0 first. This course will assume that you're either competent in Illustrator or that you've taken these two courses first. :)
