Design Your Own Wrapping Paper in Illustrator

In this class, first and foremost we'll get clever. The best ideas are inspired by humor. We'll brainstorm a fun idea for whatever occassion you choose. (gifts are most fun when they're unexpected, so be creative!). Then, you'll choose a color palette, learn how basic shapes in illustrator can create beautiful, intricate designs, and finally, we'll add texture in Photoshop to add a bit of character. 

The end result will be a pattern you created that showcases your wit - and of course your generosity. And I'll also show you how to prepare your document for printing.
