English | 2hr 23m | Video: 720p

When​ ​it​ ​comes​ ​to​ ​surface​ ​pattern​ ​design​ ​and​ ​art​ ​licensing,​ ​you’re​ ​going​ ​to​ ​want​ ​to​ ​start​ ​creating collections​ ​of​ ​work,​ ​instead​ ​of​ ​just​ ​individual​ ​pieces.​ ​Instead​ ​of​ ​designing​ ​one​ ​Christmas​ ​pattern featuring​ ​a​ ​snowman​ ​and​ ​a​ ​santa,​ ​you’ll​ ​need​ ​to​ ​create​ ​a​ ​whole​ ​collection​ ​including​ ​at​ ​least​ ​one​ ​main design​ ​image,​ ​a​ ​few​ ​supporting​ ​patterns,​ ​and​ ​some​ ​simple​ ​extra​ ​patterns​ ​such​ ​as​ ​stripes​ ​or​ ​dots. In​ ​this​ ​class,​ ​you’ll​ ​be​ ​learning​ ​how​ ​to​ ​create​ ​a​ ​surface​ ​pattern​ ​design​ ​collection​ ​from​ ​start​ ​to​ ​finish. We’ll​ ​start​ ​with​ ​brain​ ​storming​ ​ideas,​ ​finding​ ​inspiration,​ ​sketching​ ​out​ ​ideas,​ ​digitizing​ ​your​ ​work​ ​(I’ll be​ ​using​ ​Adobe​ ​Photoshop),​ ​and​ ​pulling​ ​everything​ ​together​ ​into​ ​a​ ​beautiful​ ​collection!​ ​We’ll​ ​also​ ​be discussing​ ​the​ ​importance​ ​of​ ​creating​ ​a​ ​collection​ ​versus​ ​just​ ​an​ ​individual​ ​design,​ ​ideas​ ​of​ ​how​ ​to use​ ​all​ ​of​ ​the​ ​elements​ ​for​ ​your​ ​collection,​ ​and​ ​much​ ​more.
