Watch Me Design a Pattern Collection: Creative Struggles

Course Overview

This is not an ordinary surface pattern design class. I turned my workspace into a filming studio so I could document the entire process of designing a full pattern collection from start to finish. In the age of perfection and seemingly quick results, I’m inviting you behind the scenes, where together, we can embrace our flaws and become more mindful of the creation process. In this class: - You’ll see me working on the pattern collection idea, story, and sketches - I’ll walk you through my process of planning and structuring a pattern collection. - I’ll be brave to share my internal doubts, struggles and abandoned project ideas. - I’ll show you how I’m figuring things out as I go until the collection is completed. - You’ll see the entire creation process of 8 different pattern designs from start to finish. I hope by sharing my experience, I can help you become more mindful when navigating this project on your own. To keep it factual, when the lessons start in the upper right corner, you’ll see the information about real-time it took me to complete that milestone. At the end of each lesson, I’ll provide takeaways and recommendations on what you can work on. And finally, the narration you’ll hear is based on the creative process diary I kept each day of the filming. This class is best suited for intermediate levels or beginners who already know how to create pattern repeats.
