I am new to Pattern Observer. Which course should I take first?
We recommend joining the Textile Design Lab community. You’ll join like-minded artists and designers in courses on everything from technical skills like patterns and repeats to the business know-how you need to market and sell your work. Courses like Surface Pattern Design Mastery and The Sellable Sketch will give you a solid foundation for our more advanced courses, such as Photoshop for Designers 1 and Photoshop For Designers 2.
How do I get featured on Pattern Observer?
To be considered for a feature, please submit 7-10 jpgs of your work for review. Here at Pattern Observer we strive to publish original content and therefore try to only post work which has not been covered by other major surface design blogs, so we appreciate you keeping that in mind when selecting images for your submission. Submissions can be sent here.
Do you accept guest posts on Pattern Observer? What are your requirements?
