Pattern Design II: A Creative Look at a Full Pattern Collection
4.3(120)13k students
A conceptual follow-up class from surface designer Elizabeth Olwen, moving beyond a single repeat pattern into the thinking behind a full, cohesive pattern collection. Across a set of bite-sized lessons, the class covers moodboards, the roles different pattern types play together, a spot graphic, and the naming and storytelling that tie a collection together — each illustrated with examples from Olwen's own work.
Designers, illustrators, and pattern enthusiasts who already have some familiarity with repeat patterns in Adobe Illustrator and want to think at the collection level rather than the single-pattern level.
Join popular surface designer Elizabeth Olwen for an inviting and inspiring 35-minute class all about designing a complete pattern collection!
This class is not a technical introduction to designing a repeat pattern (for that, see Elizabeth's first Skillshare class, Pattern Design: Creating Inspiring Repeats). Instead, it's a creative and conceptual follow-up to help you build on those repeat pattern skills!
In 10 bite-sized lessons, Elizabeth introduces each element that becomes part of a larger, cohesive collection: moodboards, 3 main pattern types (hero, blender, secondary), a "logo-like" spot graphic, a name, and a story. Each video lesson includes tips and examples from Elizabeth's own work. Plus, an exclusive class handout provides easy reference.
This class is ideal for designers, illustrators, aspiring surface designers, and pattern enthusiasts seeking creative inspiration and a community for feedback on their designs. It's recommended that students have a basic familiarity with designing repeat patterns in Adobe Illustrator.
