In this class, you will learn:

- Discovered a fast and efficient way to digitize pattern elements in Adobe Illustrator;
- Found out about the specifics of using typography in pattern design (allover repeats);
- The instruments to create a portfolio ready typography pattern piece.
The class will be interesting both for beginners and students with prior experience in surface pattern design, hand lettering/typography artists, and graphic designers, illustrators, and pattern designers.
The skills learned in this class could be applied by surface pattern designers to enrich the portfolio, discover new ways to use typography patterns on a variety of potential products. For hand lettering/typography artists, the course may open the window to surface pattern design.
Skills learned in this course may help you to make your portfolio of pattern designs/illustrations stand out; show the ways where typography patterns may be applied in product development; may drive interest to pattern design of the group of artists who were previously not considering projects that included pattern design (hand lettering and typography artists).
For this course, you will need simple drawing tools (pencil, ink pen, ink, paper, etc.), a phone camera or photo camera (quality of the camera doesn’t matter), and Adobe Illustrator.
