Do want to add geometric surface pattern designs to your portfolio, but you're unsure how to create them in Affinity Designer V2? Do you find yourself drawn to beautiful, circular patterns, but they seem complicated? 

Welcome to class!

Hi there! I'm Tracey, an illustrator, photographer and designer from the Chicago area. Welcome to the first class in my new series of short form surface pattern design classes called, Pattern Toolkit. In this lesson, we'll focus on three beautiful, geometric patterns formed by the humble ellipse, using Affinity Designer V2.

In this series of classes, we'll focus on a specific pattern, or theme of patterns, in a variety of applications: the Affinity suite, Adobe, and Procreate. With each lesson, you'll walk away from class with a new design for your portfolio, as well as experience in tools that can expand your creativity in surface pattern design and beyond.
