This course will unlock the fundamental concepts of repeat pattern design and get you started in designing wallpapers and surface designs using your own imagery. The class will demonstrate the ways in which a single motif, when subjected to various systems of arrangement through repeat, yields an astonishing array of effects and abstract visual phenomenon.
