Learn Design of Continuous Printed without visible repetitions using Photoshop and the Tresbolillo technique
Joined July 2006
Learn to create seamless textile patterns without visible repetitions using the staggered pattern technique. Throughout the process, choose a theme that inspires you and collect visual references to create a mood board. Experiment with hand-drawn sketches, focusing on composition and color harmony. With your drawings ready, take them digitally and refine them in Adobe Photoshop, where you'll apply the staggered pattern to achieve a fluid repetition.
When you're finished, export your pattern and present it in mockups to visualize its application in textiles, stationery, or home decor. Each step of the project is designed to guide you from the initial idea to the final product. Discover how to transform your sketches into unique textile designs and bring your creations to life on a variety of surfaces. The staggered pattern technique will help you deceive the eye, making patterns appear endless, with no visible cuts.
