There are a lot of other wonderful surface pattern design classes out there, but my class is unique because I’m going to teach you the workflow I use that helps me save time when creating patterns in Adobe Illustrator. By the end of this class, you’ll create a half-drop pattern block and you’ll be able to optimize your pattern creation workflow, so you can focus on the fun part: creating the art!

In this class, you will learn:

• How I use quadrants to make designing half-drop patterns easy
• How to set up your Illustrator file the right way
• How to create actions and keyboard shortcuts to automate processes like repeating design elements
• How to test your patterns in Adobe Photoshop to ensure they repeat seamlessly
