Level Up Your Pattern Design | Advanced Techniques using Adobe Illustrator

Elevate your surface pattern design skills with this intermediate course! Learn advanced pattern design techniques to create truly professional-looking repeats. This class dives deep into methods like half-drop repeats, brick repeats, tossed patterns, directional patterns, and layered patterns.

Discover my personal tips and tricks for perfecting your patterns. We'll cover crucial aspects like:

• Flaw detection: Learn how to meticulously check your pattern for imperfections.
• Seamless repeats: Master techniques to make the repeat start and end virtually invisible.
• Pattern scaling: Easily adjust the size of your finished pattern tile for various applications.

This course is perfect for designers who already have a foundational understanding of creating basic repeat patterns and are ready to take their pattern design to the next level.

Prerequisites: Basic knowledge of Adobe Illustrator is required.

What to bring: Have some motifs ready to go – we'll be using pre-drawn motifs throughout the course.
