In this class, I will show you how texture adds interest and a tactile quality to what might otherwise be a flat color. We will begin some of the work for a few of the images to be converted to vectors of in Illustrator. Alternately, we will create some from scratch, right in Illustrator. We will work with full-color textures and onecolor textures, as well as creation of polka dot patterns and more.
Once we have created a few textures, we will apply them to existing patterns to see what we can come up with. We will then experiment with color and will even dive into use of the recolour tool to experiment with our newly created patterns. Your head will be spinning like mine was by the end of the class. Take this one hour class for a full mind work-out! There is no exercise better, especially if you have been stuck!
Upon completion of your textures, you can go through all your existing artworks and give them a new lease on life with these techniques. You can use companies like Spoonflower or Print on Demand sites to showcase or to create custom products. Or check out my recent course called Passion to Profits where we use the Adobe Design-to Print-Extension and publish straight to Zazzle. Wouldn't it be fun and satisfying to create and sell products with your design on them?
You may have taken courses on pattern design before, but it is guaranteed that there are new measures and methods to be learned every day. If you've taken other Deloresart classes, this is just a natural progression in your development towards full proficiency in all manner of design work.
As far as prerequisite skills, I would recommend some knowledge of Photoshop and Illustrator with the goal of wanting to learn additional techniques. In class, we'll talk about both the design and technical aspects of creating a pattern. I will demonstrate them at a reasonable pace so that it will be easy to follow along. This course is for all levels; I recommend being acquainted with Illustrator to a certain degree. I suggest Illustrator for this class, as that is what is being featured here, but any other vector software is suitable, so long as it has the same functionality. Remember, you can adjust speed of the playback in particularly difficult areas.
The key concepts I will include are:
sourcing textures in the environment around you using pencil rubbings and photographs
processing your raster images in Photoshop and finishing in Illustrator to create vectors
applying your texture to backgrounds behind repeat patterns in Illustrator
applying your texture to foreground items in Illustrator patterns and Illustrations
tips to perfecting your patterns and experimenting with color
methods to deal with processing and software issues
This course has a huge line-up of ideas for you no matter at what stage you are in your design career, and it can help you whether your focus is illustration or pattern design. Join me and learn an abundance of things you may never have considered before! You can be applying this practical knowledge in your design practice tomorrow. Creating a textural pattern can be done relatively quickly with this short but information-filled class. I'm ready to get going. How about you?
