Are you a surface pattern designer struggling to get your art out in the world? Do you feel like it’s impossible to stand out in a sea of other pattern designers? I’ve discovered an amazing platform that’s helped me achieve success and recognition as a surface pattern designer.
It’s a print on demand website called Spoonflower.
My name is Carrie Cantwell and I'm a surface pattern designer and educator. In this class, I’ll teach you how I discover what’s trending, make the most of my patterns, and stand out online. I’ll show you best practices for everything from tags to proofing your art, and showing off your patterns using Spoonflower’s free mockups.Â
If you’ve never used Spoonflower before, this class is a great place to get started. If you’re already a Spoonflower artist, you’ll learn some helpful tips to make the most of your art and your shop. You don’t need any special software to take this class. You can create patterns in Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, Affinity—there are lots of choices.
With this class, I’m giving you a free bundle with tons of trending tags, popular themes, and access to awesome mockups, free color palettes and more. In this class, I’ll be showing you some special tricks for leveraging your patterns in Adobe Illustrator. If you’ve never made a pattern using Illustrator, check out my SkillShare class on creating half-drop patterns.
If you worry that Spoonflower is too saturated, I’m here to put your mind at ease. Trends come and go, but your unique voice is what will make your art stand out. I’m living proof that you can get noticed as an artist through Spoonflower.
I was even featured in Peppermint Magazine because they found me on Spoonflower!
