Learning Pattern Design

with Washi Tapes

For this project I had three goals:

  1. Get better at creating patterns
  2. Warm up my color theory muscles
  3. Have some fun!

This personal project—that I absolutely love—was inspired by the amazing Esther Nariyoshi!

I started by scouting for cute references in Carousell. I found designs I love from @shopkawaiiaeriel, @kittydeclutters, and @declutter.jo!

I love the polka dots and stripes pattern on the upper right from @shopkawaiiaeriel
Love the second and third designs from the left from @kittydeclutters
And this super cute arrow design (in the middle) from @declutter.jo

Then I used vector shapes, distort & transform effects, the pen tool, and manipulated anchor points to create the patterns.
