Pattern Design with the NEW Adobe Textile Designer Plugin
Pattern Design with the NEW Adobe Textile Designer Plugin
The Adobe Suite of graphic illustration programs is an indispensable tool for surface pattern designers to translate their vision into a striking design and a printable, repeating pattern. However, even with the power of Photoshop, creating a pattern often meant repeating steps and careful calculations which could be time-consuming, and could cripple the creative impulse. In the past, the designer had to work on the foundational tile andthe overall pattern, simultaneously paying close attention to both. Yeesh! Changes to colors and shapes in the foundational tile had to be precisely reciprocated to each assemblage in the full pattern. A late change once meant starting from scratch. But not any more!
You will be guided step-by-step through the process of producing a textural repeating pattern design, from initial brush creation and composition of the design in Illustrator and a review of creating a repeat pattern in Illustrator. Adding textural elements using masking techniques in Photoshop will lead to using the new Adobe Textile Creator (ATD) to create the repeat pattern layout. Finally, you will be guided through applying your lovely new pattern to mockups. You will use the Adobe programs Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop with that extra special plugin, ATD, and will get a wealth of helpful tips along the way!
The verbal guidance and demonstrations will help you learn all the necessary core skills that can be applied to so many of your future designs. Whether you are new to surface pattern design, or a fairly seasoned designer who has been using Photoshop with calculations and measurements to repeat your patterns, the new ATD will change your life!
