What You Will Learn?

  • Have you ever wanted to create designs in Adobe Illustrator that have texture?  Have you tried, but struggled to make it work without your computer going into meltdown because it can’t cope with the massive file size?  I like creating patterns in Photoshop, but a lot of clients require vector designs so it's always good to know how to use both Photoshop & Illustrator to create patterns. .
  • Texture adds dimension and perspective to what might otherwise be a flat design..
  •  In this class I’m going to show you how to create texture in Adobe Photoshop, then apply it to designs in Adobe Illustrator keeping the design completely vectorised..
  • You will learn: .
  • For your class project you will show us how you gathered your texture, the before and after of your texture, and the before and after of your pattern design with texture. .
  • I'll also provide you with a free mockup to display your new design on as well as some free texture photos that you can use for your own projects..
