Creating Geometric Patterns

via Skillshare

Overview

Learn to make simple, beautiful geometric patterns using Adobe Illustrator. Whether you’re a graphic designer, interior designer, fashion designer or someone that just likes patterns, this course will teach you the skills to create your own geometric patterns in no time.

This class will teach you how to make classic geometric pattern repeats. To stretch your creativity further, the only ingredients you'll use will be black and white lines. 

It’s suitable for beginners as well as more experienced Illustrator users, but there will be quite a steep learning curve, as we’ll need to get into the fine details of how to align objects precisely in order for these type of patterns to work. If you are new to Illustrator you might consider taking a more basic course before this one. 

You will need to use Adobe Illustrator to take this course. It doesn't need to be the latest version.
