Description
In this class Blending Traditional & Digital Approaches to Create Elegant Patterns course, I will show you how I took a traditional hand-inked pattern and brought it into the digital realm to create the pattern repeat and colorize it. This class is intended for students who have already learned some basic pattern making skills are seeking alternative methods to create more advanced patterns. The starting point is a hand inked pattern, so drawing and inking is essential and the hope is you have something in-hand to practice with. Having basic knowledge of Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator is an asset and I will try to clearly explain all the steps as we proceed. The process can be intimidating at first, but using these techniques make it much easier.This course will arm you with all the knowledge necessary. This alternative pattern-making skillset is an ideal competence if you are fabric designer, illustrator or surface pattern designer, or simply a graphic designer on a mission to create a self-sustaining career. Many insights about designing will be shared and hopefully they can inspire you to take a look at your current pattern designs and have you planning many different projects in the future. I go through the entire process from start to finish.
