What You Will Learn?

  • This class focuses on making a range of five hexagon seamless repeating patterns in Illustrator. You will learn how to make a pattern with white border around the elements, how to make a nested hexagon design using a blend and a faux hexagon pattern which is randomly colored using a Script. You'll learn to create a half drop repeat pattern, a dimensional pattern and a 'pattern in pattern' effect..
  • These patterns all make use of the Pattern Make tool which was introduced in Illustrator CS6 and which is also included in Illustrator CC (all versions)..
  • By the end of this class you will be able to make a range of hexagon patterns for use on POD products, at sites like Spoonflower and for sale as digital assets. .
  • In this course, all the designs use the Pattern Make tool in Illustrator CC and CS6 - the class is, therefore, unsuitable for users of other earlier versions of Illustrator. I am using Illustrator CC 2019 for this class. .
