Design Work Life: Cataloging Inspiration Daily

Patterns by Honey & Bloom

It’s no secret that I love pat­tern art. And lately I’ve been work­ing on per­fect­ing my skills, so I’ve been on the look­out for a good tuto­r­ial. I’ve found that there are quite a few out there for Photoshop, which I don’t find very use­ful because I pre­fer to work in vec­tors when mak­ing pat­terns. But in the search I did come across a few that were exactly what I was look­ing for. I haven’t tried all of these tuto­ri­als yet, so I can’t really review them here, but I will post an update once I do.

1. Julia Rothman for design*sponge: Creating a pat­tern by hand
2. Digital Arts Online: Making full use of the Illustrator-based pat­tern swatches
3. A few video tuto­ri­als via True Up

Anyone know of one that I missed?
