So useful, insightful, and funny! I wouldn't want to design pink unicorns either... In fact, I've been thinking "if I ever go into this field, I want to design more elegant and glamorous patterns for children, because there's way too much tacky stuff out there" hahaha! Would've loved to see your natural designs come to life!!
Thank you!! I love this idea. I've designed some kids' patterns but mostly the traditional kind. It would be nice to try the "organic/beige mom" kind of designs :) Especially since they are trending as well. Thanks for the idea!!
Here is another aspect that I missed: patterned socks! Goes together with knitwear! Can you think of any other aspects that I might have missed? Let me know in the comments!
The type of video I am looking for is
What makes a balanced design line. My goal is to create design lines for fabric intended for quilting. I've heard terms like 'low volume designs', 'Hero prints", "supporting prints", "color ways", and "tonals". If you can give insight or suggest a chnnel that talks about that i would love to hear!
I'm not sure what low volume designs means - perhaps it references the intended amount of yardage to be produced? Tonals are designs created within a tonal color palette, for example, in blue hues. Hero print is the most eye-catching design in the collection, supporting prints are less intricate. I talk about these and colorways in my video about textile design collections: th-cam.com/video/3I2MiJJjTyI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=krY2fE4HN6AFCZ0_
I also have a lesson on collections in my Introduction to Surface Pattern Design class on Skillshare - you can get a free month trial at this link: skl.sh/3uTdIgF . The class lasts 2 hours and is broken down into 10 (or so) minutes lessons that will give you lots of useful insights into surface pattern design. You can also search "quilting fabric collection" or "textile design collections" on TH-cam!
I used to be a user experience designer. You do a lot of visual layout design which I enjoyed, but working for startups sometimes you don't get to design at all (even boring things) In one role I was just writing documentation most days. So boring! I always wanted to go into textiles. Thanks for the post
You have so much experience, thank you for sharing your wisdom
Glad it was helpful, thank you for your comment Ania!
Thank you so much Darya! I feel like we are kindred spirits in our interests, except I’m at the very beginning of my surface pattern journey! Looking forward to your next video!
Thank you so much Kristine! So many exciting things ahead for you! ♥️ Working on my next video now :)
Thank you, I found what you said very informative and helpful as I too have started on a Surface Pattern design journey.
You are very welcome Stephanie! Good luck and I hope you enjoy it! 🤗 So many fun opportunities!
Lovely video! I would love to hear more about how you applied to companies and maybe more information on the business side of textile design!
Thank you for your comment! I'll be making a video soon about all the different ways of making an income with textile design. As for applying to companies, you need a cohesive portfolio showcasing work that fits the goals of the company (several collections) + a resume and all the professional aspects like with finding any other job (positive attitude, communication skills, etc.) Hope it helps!
HI Darya, and thank you for yours videos, I really like them, they are very instructive and inspiring. I have been taking classes for a few months on platforms like Domestika. But the way you talk about your business makes it more approachable. I live in Europe, in France, here people are not so entrepreneurial. It's not easy to get started. I hope to get there. Thanks again
Thank you so much for your comment, Lolie! I really appreciate it. Domestika has some great classes. Good luck to you on your journey as a designer! 💙
Excellent💯👍👏
Thank you! ♥️
