Surface Pattern Design: Make a Paper Cutout Pattern with Textures in Adobe Illustrator: I'll guide you through creating a standout digital pattern using paper cutouts in this engaging class. Get ready for a hands-on experience as we wield scissors and paper to craft our shapes, followed by step-by-step instructions on building the pattern in Adobe Illustrator. Finally, we'll add texture to our pattern using Illustrator's texture effects.
This exercise is not only delightful but also serves as a source of fresh inspiration. By the end of the class, you'll have developed a unique textured pattern design that is fully vectorized to take advantage of its numerous benefits.
While many texture options are raster-based, such as those in Procreate, mastering vectorized texture empowers you with greater print flexibility. You'll be able to scale your pattern to any dimension without losing quality and seamlessly work with specific colours, including Pantone or other colour books required by clients.
Moreover, this method isn't limited to patterns; it can be applied to digital illustrations or other designs you wish to vectorize. Join me in this creative journey and unlock the potential to elevate your designs with captivating texture and vector precision.
