Pattern Design: Creating a Cohesive Pattern Collection

Join surface pattern designer Abby Hersey as she takes you through the creation of a cohesive pattern collection. This class isn't an introduction to technical repeat pattern design, so be sure to check out her introductory pattern design classes for Illustrator and Photoshop.

In this class, you will learn how to create a moodboard as well as the different types of patterns that make up a collection. You'll also learn how to create spot graphics within the theme of your collection.

This class is designed for those who want to take their pattern design skills to the next level and add a marketable collection to their portfolio. Students should have a working knowledge of pattern creating in Illustrator or Photoshop.
