Pattern templates have been a key part of my design process over the years, helping me create countless patterns. While the templates provide a solid foundation, it's the way I customize and improvise them that makes each pattern unique. In this class, I'll guide you through creating your own reusable pattern templates and show you how to infuse them with your personal style.  In this class, we’ll start by using some tried-and-true templates that can help you focus on your creativity without getting lost in the details. These templates are not just great for creating beautiful hero patterns but also for adding more variety to your designs.  But that’s just the beginning. As you learn to create these templates on your own, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the design process. With practice and repetition, you'll build the confidence to explore new and unique patterns, turning frustration into inspiration.  Hello everyone, I'm Geetanjali, an artist, illustrator, and surface pattern designer from the beautiful coastal state of Goa, India.   In this class I will explain what pattern templates are and their benefits in the design process.
