Being self-taught I've always been on the hunt for courses that can help me advance my skills, taking this course felt like hitting the jackpot.

"It's clearly defined for the textile design industry and I receive only essential and condensed information I need to make my designs look professional."

Rachelle

"One of the many aspects I found helpful was the focus on creating repeats. Longina Phillips are masters at creating beautiful, flowing and non-obvious repeating patterns. I like that they show how to create these manually, so even if you don't have access to a fancy program like NedGraphics, you can still learn how to create a pattern that seamlessly repeats (and is not just a straight repeat). I also learned several new methods for recoloring motifs that I now use all the time in my workflow. I especially love using the "replace color" technique to quickly make new colorways."

Shelly

"I have really loved the courses, although I am a practicing designer, it is so useful to continue to learn new and updated industry skills. There are so many ways of doing the same thing in Photoshop, but as a designer you are always looking for time saving methods. The courses are a great investment if you would like to work in the field of Textile Design!"
