Design professional patterns in 10 minutes!

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!
