About This Workshop
About This Workshop
To kick off 2016, join me in an exclusive two-week workshop to take your pattern design skills to the next level by designing your very own pattern collection! Through my class, Pattern Design II: A Creative Look at a Full Pattern Collection, I’ll walk you through the key elements of a beautiful, complete pattern collection, from moodboards, to the 3 main pattern types, to the name and story behind your collection.
With due dates and reminders to keep you on track, you’ll take the steps to design a pattern collection, complete with prints, a spot graphic, and a name. I’ve limited this workshop to 50 students so I can provide each and every one of you with extra support and 1-on-1 feedback along the way to help you take you sharpen your skills and take your collections to the next level.
This workshop is perfect for designers, illustrators, aspiring surface designers, and pattern enthusiasts seeking creative inspiration in an engaging, collaborative learning environment. It's recommended that workshop students have a basic familiarity with designing repeat patterns in Adobe Illustrator. If you’d like a refresher on your fundamental repeat pattern design skills as you prepare for this workshop, I’d encourage you to check out my first class, Pattern Design I: Creating Inspiring Repeats!
