What is a Mini Pattern Collection?
A mini pattern collection is a small set of coordinating patterns centered around a theme. These collections are perfect for seasonal projects, building your portfolio, or even designing products! In this class, weāll focus on a summer theme and create a set of patterns that work beautifully together.
How to Make an Summer-Themed Mini Pattern Collection
1. Find Inspiration for Your Summer Patterns
The first step is gathering inspiration. For a summer collection, think about elements that capture the essence of the seasonābright sunshine, refreshing drinks, tropical leaves, bold colors, beach umbrellas, fruity treats, and playful motifs.
Iāve also put together a Summer Vibes Pinterest board to help spark your creativity!
2. Choose a Seasonal Color Palette
A cohesive color palette is key to tying your collection together. Summer is the perfect time to play with bold, vibrant colorsāhot pinks, turquoise blues, zesty oranges, and sunny yellows. In the class, I provide a ready-made summer Procreate color palette so you can jump right in.
3. Design Your First Pattern in Procreate
With your inspiration and palette in place, itās time to start designing! Iāll walk you through creating a seamless repeat pattern step-by-step in Procreate. Youāll also learn how to use my pattern layout templates to speed up your workflow and make seamless patterns with ease.
4. Expand Your Collection with Coordinating Patterns
A mini pattern collection typically includes a main print and several coordinating patterns. These can be simple textures, stripes, or smaller-scale prints that balance and complement your main design. Iāll guide you through creating a well-rounded collection that feels polished and cohesive.
