Playing with #paisleyprint ideas working to the @wgsn KINSHIP SS18 colour story. Love the richness of this palette but also the inverted versions of the pattern 🎨 #makeitindesign #abspd #abspdm2 #surfacepatterndesign #digitalpatterndesign #patterndesigner #repeatingpattern #patterncollection #kinship #kinshipcolourstory #ss18 #wgsn #colourtrends #pastels #spice #spicypalette #paisleypattern #paisley #paisleyprintmotif #paisley2021 #renfrewshire #scotland #scotlandredesigned

From sketches to finished pattern

We've just come to the end of the first module of the art and business of surface pattern design ecourse and I'm already looking forward to starting module 2 in November. Module 1 was all about finding inspiration, mark making, creating motifs, understanding pattern design, homing in on our own style, colour choices plus loads more. I've loved every minute of this course and have met (virtually) so many lovely inspiring people from all over the world. One of the things I've enjoyed most is turning my own sketches into patterns so I thought I'd share a few pictures showing the stages from scanning my original drawings through to a completed pattern.

Scanned motifs from my sketchbook.

This is a physical box repeat tile I created by printing my motifs in varying scale and doing lots of measurements to ensure the correct positions to work as a repeating pattern.

Which I later scanned to check it worked... and to my astonishment it did!  I discovered playing around with cut out motifs and re-positioning them is a great way to come up with new pattern combinations.

A couple more weeks into my course we started looking at colour and various ways to come up with new  colour palettes. I chose a colour combination of navy blue, mustard and greys for my motifs, and digitally coloured them.

After playing around with positioning and scale here's my finished placement pattern.

Pattern Showcase: ABSPD Module 1 (Dec 2012)

My pattern "Hazy Daisy" is featured alongside the work of other classmates in the Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design Module 1 Showcase (Part 1 and Part 2). It's great to see everyone's lovely work featured like this, and wonderful to see so many different styles. I just completed Module 2 and I'm really looking forward to starting Module 3 on 29 April!
