Course Description

Designing patterns to customize your t-shirt or sneakers or pillow or curtain, is now a simple game.
And selling those patterns is only few clicks away.
Within five minutes after you join this course, you will be able to make spectacular patterns in a funny and quick manner, then simulate them on a real product and start selling the design.
In this course you will learn how to use several pattern templates that include different built in symmetries for amazing instant result.

Here comes the big thing: those templates will instantly generate endless patterns due to some basic modifiers you apply.
The instant output is endless versions of the same symmetry type.

Next step is about how to use those patterns to generate some income for you, by selling them online or make super cool products on print on demand websites.

One chapter will teach you how to give life to patterns by instantly simulate them on t-shirts, sneakers, pillow covers, curtains or else you like, still being able to modify them on instant so you have a final look result.

When you are happy with the result, you will learn how to prepare the files with proper requirements for print on demand, and create your store and design collections.

The best part of print on demand platforms, is, that the same pattern can be simulated on mugs, hats, t-shirts, smartphone covers, pillow covers, sneakers, so you can make a full collection of objects with the same design.

You will be able to make at least hundred of patterns by day and post them online. Or more if you spend more time making them.
And all those, by just playing inside Affinity Designer.

A classic method of making patterns, and most conventional tutorials online cover this, is to create one tile, then multiply the tile and make a full pattern form it.
This is static. You see the result at the end, after you place all tiles.

We have a nonconventional method.
We make it funny and we just play around by creating one template to generate a particular pattern by using a particular symmetry method.
Then we modify the pattern so you will be instantly amazed on how moving just one point of one shape will generate immediate changes of your pattern.
All those new pattern are instant generated.

Only after this, after you have fun, we go back and explain each step of what we have done.
We think this is the best learning: Just play, do it, like it, and after, learn to do it again and make it better.

By taking the steps again and explain them, you will learn and understand the principle behind each type of symmetry and you will become a skilled pattern designer.
Target audience:
For those who like to make things by playing and having fun.
Those who wants o sell their pattern design online.
The ones that like to spend time with their children and make together something cool.
For you if you look for a relaxation time and a possible passive income.
All above will be amazed by this. We promise!

Soothing, upbeat voice giving clear direction. Loving the advanced techniques using symmetry and symbols.

So far.. very clear and thorough explainations. Fun to make too.

Wonderful course. Would have liked to see more explanation of the way each of the modifications of the symbol would create the final tiled effect. Will have to do that on my own. Would love to have seen the future patterns, but thank you loads for including the template files of them...very unique course! WOW. Will be using this for gifts, but will also be playing with subtle 2 color designs to use as web design elements. That's why I'd have liked more theory/explanation of how moving the symbol elements creates the final design---right now its simply random trial and error.

Clear easy to follow instructions. Templates provided but you are also taught how to build them yourself, this allows students to decide how far in they want to delve. Information is provided to guide those interested in selling their designs online. The narration is a little stiff/robotic but clear and mostly to the point.

Great Course in how to do pattern design within affinity designer.. cant wait to see the next expanded series of this course..

Very well presented and educational. :)

This course is probably my favorite so far on Udemy both because the instructor is fun to learn with, and it makes it so easy to create really cool patterns in Affinity Designer, which is something I was having trouble with. Good stuff!
