Ancestral geometric pattern design

“Hello, we have reached the end of this story. I hope this course has been as enriching for you as it was for me. Now you are ready to make repeating patterns based on ancient cultures, they will surely be extremely beautiful and important to you. It is time for you to design something unique and spectacular. I wish you all the good vibes to start your creation. Let's see how creative you are to share your final project with me and your colleagues. Surely, you will leave everyone with their mouths open. I share with you the example of my process: The documentation Go through your entire database, images and texts for visual narration. Also, organize your ideas and define the topic you are going to work on. Make a list of the visuals you are going to illustrate. I recommend that it be a culture that you are really passionate about and that you are very excited to work with it.

The sketches Make a series of preliminary sketches, make sure it is a wide selection so that later you can choose the final one. Debugging and final details Debug your sketches to generate an optimal composition. Then digitize your sketch, either with a camera or a scanner. Vectorize all the elements that are part of your composition. Finally, develop different versions of color to apply on various supports. Let your art come to life Optimize your files for manual and digital application. Apply your creation in various mock-ups to see the final results. Keep in mind that there is visual richness everywhere. The important thing about the final project is that you make your graph from what is close to you. There are multiple existing cultures and losses in time, it is important that whatever you choose, you understand and respect it so that your strokes are an interpretation of them. In addition, this way you will achieve a unique and unrepeatable creation. Remember that it is not to copy it, but to bring all that graph to the present time. Believe me, the results are highly appreciated by various audiences and it looks great on all kinds of products, be it clothing or accessories. Remember that I will always be aware of your progress and results through the forum. I just ask for your patience, since apart from being an independent designer I have some other personal projects underway so it may take a while to respond, but I will surely do it. Do not forget that this is a collective creative space and everything you can contribute to your colleagues is very valuable. We will all learn a lot if we shake hands and respectfully share what we think about each other's jobs. Thank you for joining me in this course and remember that I will be waiting to see your final project. I send you a huge hug and loaded full of good vibes. Let the strokes flow! See you soon. ”
