Choosing the wrong typeface or type style can destroy the effectiveness of a design, and finding the perfect typeface is not as easy as it sounds. There are hundreds of options and after a day in front of the computer screen, it's hard to be convinced that any one of them is the right choice. Type Style Finder is the answer for many weary designers.
Learn to make "Pattern in Pattern" or "Stacked Pattern Swatches" in Photoshop. If you are selling patterns or uploading designs to Spoonflower you may want to combine two patterns such as a geometric with a floral pattern. The issue is that you can't upload two patterns to Spoonflower and have the site stack them for you. Instead you have to create the double layer or pattern in pattern effect yourself and then upload the resulting combined pattern. Of course, that pattern, itself, also needs to be a seamless repeat! There are some tricks and techniques you can use to make these stacked patterns and you will learn these in this class. You will learn to make stacked patterns from scratch and also how to combine two existing patterns into one single swatch for sale or upload to sites that require pattern swatches (rather than objects filled wit a pattern).
