Although Vera Neumann is known for her iconic scarves that became hugely popular in the 60s , Vera got her start by creating housewares. Growing up, Vera was encouraged to be artistic. Her father would pay her fifty cents to fill a sketchbook! She was initially thrilled to get a job straight out of school but was shocked to learn she was expected to directly copy other designers’ work. That was against everything she believed in, and Vera promptly quit.  She started working as a freelance designer for children’s fabrics and murals and then met her future husband, George Neumann. George’s family was in the textile design industry and was very impressed with Vera’s ambitions. He was instrumental in her success, and they started humbly with a small silkscreen operation in a tiny New York apartment. At that time, their first product was linen placemats!

In this class, I’m going to show how I use Procreate to create surface pattern designs for licensing.  You’ll see my whole process from finding inspiration, creating motifs and finally designing a pattern.  Along the way, you’ll learn bonus tips and tricks that will help you create stunning designs.  

This class is mostly taught in Procreate, but the techniques can be used in Photoshop as well.  I include a bonus video of how to create a simple pattern in Photoshop. 

This beginners class is an introduction to Augmented Reality experiences made with the Adobe Cloud. Without prior 3D knowledge, you will learn how to create 3d assets from scratch using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Dimension. You will further get an introduction into the Augmented Reality Software Adobe Aero which allows you to easily create animated AR experiences. 

This class will give you confidence to create stunning Mixed Reality experiences, AR client presentations, Information Designs or Digital Art experiences.
