Do you want to create a seamless repeat pattern but you have no idea where to begin? And, perhaps like me, you can’t draw? Then this class is for you!
This class will guide you through how to create a seamless repeat pattern on your iPad using only one free app, Photoshop Mix. You’ll also use free clipart and your trusty finger. You don’t even need an Apple Pencil or an iPad pro! Any iPad will do.
This class is designed for the beginner who doesn’t have any experience with creating repeat patterns and for those who wish to create fun and simple patterns using ready-made images.
This class will guide you through:
Installing Photoshop Mix
Downloading clipart that is royalty-free and in the public domain
Checking that your clipart has a transparent background and removing backgrounds if necessary
Arranging your clip art to create a pleasing pattern
Creating a seamlessly repeating tile
Saving your pattern to your iPad’s home screen or lock screen
Uploading your design so that it can be printed on a T-shirt
To complete this class, you will need an iPad, Photoshop Mix, and access to a web browser and the internet.
Your class project is to make a seamless repeat pattern using public domain clipart and saving it as your iPad’s lock screen or home screen. I have included a bonus lesson where I show you how to have your design made into a T-shirt. :)
At the end of this class, you will have a seamless repeat pattern that can be used on any print on demand website. Imagine having your hand-made design printed on T-shirts and given to your friends or family!
