Have been doing pattern design for a while, but you will feel like it is an issue to stay organized with all the files and steps necessary to fill out an entire collection. There are the initial development files, the experiments, the tests and then all the final content including the hero pattern, the secondary, blenders and coordinates. It can become a crazy mess if you don’t have a system. While keeping this all straight, you are also trying to get faster at it all, because we all know, in the design game, time is money! In this course, Optimized Workflow for Pattern Design, I’m sharing everything I’ve learned about optimizing the pattern design workflow which I have learned from hours of creating and perfecting. You will see my personal technique for staying organized in the design of an entire collection and all the ways I have found to be as efficient as humanly possible. With my process, you can literally create multiple patterns or an entire collection is a few days. With experience, you will soon improve that! I hope you will learn from all my techniques. I will be providing you with FREE valuable assets that will shave time off the process for you and help you become a better professional designer in the process.
This course follows up the Folk Art Inspired Half Drop Toss Pattern Course, where you learned how to create a specific toss pattern with a half-drop. I will be using all the assets developed during that course, so it is perfect as part of the continuum. I’ll show you my step-by-step process, from using the easy master document (which I am providing for free), to best practices for its use. We will work with this document so I can explain every step I take, and I will explain the rationale behind using it. We will be creating the template with transformations (which I am also providing for free), and I will also explain why it is so useful, and how it saves time. All the concepts can be used in any patterns you make down the line, and skills are transferable to any software that has similar functionality. The value of a course like this, especially when you are first starting out, cannot be underestimated! I wish I had been given this info when I first started designing patterns!
