About This Workshop
Join hundreds of other students to learn the principles of pattern design in just two weeks! From February 29th to March 13th, take the 2-Week Spring Pattern Design Challenge to learn the principles of pattern design and create your own repeating Spring-themed pattern. It can be anything related to spring, in your own interpretation. It can be literal (flowers, butterflies) or more conceptual (something that evokes the feeling of what spring means to you, or concepts of renewal, etc) or totally abstract, as long as it speaks to your ideas about/feelings around spring. It’s totally open to your own interpretation.
Surface designer, Elizabeth Olwen, will take you through her full process of gathering inspiration, sketching motifs, and transforming them into seamless, repeating patterns using Adobe Illustrator. This challenge is perfect for designers, illustrators, and crafters looking to expand their pattern design skills in an engaging, collaborative environment. By the end, you’ll have designed your own repeat pattern that you can use in endless ways from creating stationery, printed fabric, or even your own iPhone case. One winner will receive a free year of Premium Membership!
