Description
I have been excited to finish my full pattern collection. How about you? There is something just so satisfying about getting the job done! It has been a fun time to experiment with different ideas for producing the coordinates. I went kind of crazy, producing way more than I need. That's ok! They will come in handy. In fact, I may end up doing two collections with all the patterns.
This class, Creating Coordinates for a Pattern Collection, will show how I developed very different sorts of patterns. I have created a well-rounded group of patterns for which I can already imagine the end use. The purpose of designing the collection is to be able to offer the end user many different options.
For example, a quilt-maker could have 6 - 10 different options for even the most intricate of quilt patterns. I used the same color palette throughout the three classes as well. Each coordinate contrasts well or matches beautifully, and I have gone to extremes. What I mean by that is I have large scale and small scale, geometric and soft, and light colors to dark colors.
A well-rounded collection can and should be adaptable to many different end products.You will learn a few new things and many of the Affinity Designer skills you have already learned will be reinforced. Each time I do a pattern design class for Affinity Designer, new opportunities present themselves for teaching you advanced skills and efficiency strategies. And I try to always do things in a way that makes it interesting.
In this class I'll walk you through
using your assets from the Asset Studio to make a new pattern
creating a unique geometric pattern
creating stripes using two completely contrasting techniques
tips for creating compositions for a new iteration of the hero pattern
adjusting colors until satisfied with a color scheme and keeping it simple enough to edit later
How a surface pattern designer works is the main focus of the class. Creating collections is key to being a surface pattern designer whose work is in demand. With these pattern design classes, I am creating a continuum of learning that, once complete, will give you the skills necessary to pursue this as one of your possible alternative income streams.
Oh! And did I mention there's a surprise? You will have to watch the whole class to see what it is!
The key concepts I will include
review of pattern design methodology specific to Affinity Designer
how decisions are made with placement of motifs and color choices to produce coordinates and blenders
approaches you can take moving forward with your surface pattern design career
This class takes you into Affinity Designer for finishing up the surprise, but I have also included a Procreate version for those of you who are working strictly in that software. This workflow may be different for you if you use other software, but all the concepts are applicable for you. If you've used Procreate or Affinity Designer before, you will feel comfortable with all the steps.
Intro to Creating Coordinates for a Pattern Collection
This short intro will give you an overview of the class.
Lesson 1: Inspiration, Examples and Overview
In this lesson, I will show you my coordinates I have already created for this collection and a few more to boot! I will also talk about developing the patterns and we will look at inspiration and examples on Pinterest.
Lesson 2: Creating Stripes with Two Methods
In this lesson, I will break down the complete process of creating two types of stripes. The first one is your basic stripe which we create using the rectangle tool. We will build with a stroke which we draw using the pencil tool. I show you how easy it is to create a stripe using these two methods.
Lesson 3: Adding Interest for a Unique Stripe
In this lesson, I will show you an alternate stripe. The first one was very formal and this one is very fun and casual. We expand a stroke to create the curve which we fill with a bunch more stripes. This creates a ribbon-like stripe with a lot of character and interest.
Lesson 4: Triangle Pattern and Variations
This is the lesson in which I teach you about creating a triangular repeat pattern. The challenge is the fitting, of course! I also show you how to unite the borders of the triangles and re-coloring for interest. This is just one idea. There are many more to come!
Lesson 5: Half Drop Floral Pattern Coordinate
What I loved about this lesson is getting to use my asset gallery. This made the creation of a coordinate very easy. I take you through most of my steps including going back to my original and adding another asset to the asset studio.
Lesson 6: Create A Less Detailed Floral Coordinate
There are so many ways to develop coordinates. In this lesson, I continue to use assets in my Asset Studio. This pattern is much less detailed and has very little color. I show you how I create it from start to finish.
Lesson 7: Bonus Lesson with a Free Download
I won't even mention what the surprise is for those of you who have made it this far. If you are reading this, it means you are ready for the next step. Enroll in the class to find out more!!!
Lesson 8: Conclusion, Pep Talk, and Wrap Up
We will conclude everything in this lesson. I show you a series of mockups and a few sell sheets and some quick mock-ups with the pattern collection and we end with a chat about next steps.

Project Guide
Start by being sure your Asset Studio is fully loaded with motifs. Your challenge is to create three different patterns to complete a mini collection. Try your hand as using your assets initially, for a pattern or two. Try one with a variety of motifs, up to ten, and then try one with only two or three. Lastly, try producing a geometric pattern. It can be the triangles idea, or you can try any other geometric shape. The key is to make it a good contrast. Be sure to vary use of color but keep it to the color palette of your hero. I can't wait to see it all on the surprise from Lesson 7!
Additional Instructions for the surprise are attached.

Creating assets can be a fun and relaxing project. I give plenty of ideas in this class and the classes that precede this one in the series.
Ideas
Use the shapes to create layered motifs like flowers.
Use assets created in Procreate that you have vectorized using software such as Adobe capture
create various stripes using the techniques discussed in class
using the pencil tool, draw motifs and add details with strokes: remember that strokes can be affected in many different ways using the Advanced Function in the strokes palette
Try using dotted lines to create interesting flourishes
