I decided to take the plunge and enrol in a class to help widen my design knowledge after seeing it advertised on other blogs.
I chose Reign Repeats: Create Perfect repeat patterns in Illustrator by Majo Bautista V - Owner and Designer at MaJoBV.
The idea behind the class was to learn how to design a repeat pattern to be submitted to a Spoonflower contest. The contest had a picnic theme.
I really enjoyed it. The class attracted a lot of other creative minds, Graphic Designers, Surface Pattern Designers and opened up a whole new community with an extra group section on Facebook where the class can keep in touch.
The class starts with your first design concepts on paper being transferred to the computer, practicing using Illustrator, vectorising, creating motifs with colour and texture to creating repeat layouts with basic old school methods and also the new pattern tool.
These are two of my designs I created below and I am very pleased with how they turned out.
