I've been gone a long time since my last post so I thought I'd just update you on what I've been up to since Christmas.
Two weeks ago I started back on Module 2 of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design. This has kept me pretty darn busy but it's definitely been worth the energy. I'm still learning the art of using Adobe illustrator and still trying to find my style.
One exercise I particularly enjoyed is putting together a design for a dinner service and displaying it on a mock up image below.

Another exercise we've been putting together is a collection of surface patterns and how to design coordinating pieces as you can see below. This is something I need to spend more time on because I have a lot of designs which could do well in collections.
We've also been working on designs with colour palettes that have been forecast for Spring/Summer 2016 and thinking about how we can incorporate them in our designs.
And below is the source of my inspiration.
