Description

This is the first in a developing series called: Illustrator for Pattern Design. It is perfect for the beginner student, as well as the more intermediate.

Each pattern type, Chevron and Cloisonne, starts with a complete walk-through of the Motif creation, ending in multiple variations of pattern repeats.

I will be covering a lot of tools and techniques in Illustrator, but here are some of the things I'll be covering specifically:

Creating Guides
Offsetting a Path
Shape Builder Tool
Live Paint Tool
Pattern Maker Tool
Recolor Artwork
Live Shapes
and SO MUCH MORE

Please feel free to post any questions you may have, as I will check the discussion area on a regular basis.

Also, I'm including a template for the Final Project, that you may or may not want to use. I do encourage you to share your work, as seeing different students' variations of the same pattern is really exciting.

Thank you for taking my class!

Instructor's Courses

My name is Melissa. I am always happiest when I'm a part of any creative community. My first passion was black line art. I tried many other mediums in an effort to expand and grow as a creative, and then I discovered and fell madly in love with Digital Pattern Design.

I had a lot to learn, and I was so grateful for all the online opportunities available, as I took on these new learning curves.

I am now a graduate of all 4 Modules of the very popular, Make It In Design Courses, run by Rachael Taylor and Beth Kempton. I was thrilled to have one of my designs recently selected for The Surface Pattern Design Lookbook Vol.2, within the Global Geometric category.

I LOVE that Skillshare is here for all creatives, and I'm really excited to finally enter the community as a new teacher. I personally learned a lot through experimentation and always strived to have innovative ideas. My goal is to share my creative experiments with you, hoping that it will inspire you with some new ideas.
