I am Evgeniya Righini-Brand, and in this class I will be covering tools and techniques for creating eye-catching abstract patterns in Adobe Illustrator. As a graphic designer I love patterns and often use them in my projects.

Abstract patterns like this are extremely quick, fun and easy to create, and they don’t require any drawing skills. This class is suitable for anyone, and I’ll walk you through everything you need to know to create your own set of super cool abstract patterns, which you can then use any way you can think of!

In this class I'll cover:

• approaches to designing abstract patterns;
• using a range of tools to create pattern elements, including Pen, Pencil, Smooth, Blob Brush and Shape tools;
• using Stroke settings to customise pattern elements;
• arranging pattern elements and creating chaotic non-repatable and manually arranged repeatable seamless patterns;
• colouring and recolouring techniques;
• saving pattern swatches & exporting tiled artwork from Illustrator.

Abstract patterns you will create in this class can be used in a lot of different ways:

• printed products (to print yourself or upload to platforms like Society6);
• elements of visual identity systems;
• wrapping paper, printed fabric or wallpaper (can be printed and sold through platforms like Spoonflower);
• photo backdrops;
• website backgrounds.
