A complete step-by-step guide for any skill level
This class is designed for aspiring and established graphic designers, pattern designers, illustrators and digital artists,
and anyone else who loves the look of organic generative patterns and wants to level up their Adobe Photoshop skills!
You might already know how to generate Turing patterns in Adobe Photoshop, but a few adjustments and actions are not all there is to Turing Patterns, so don’t stop there!
Introducing repeatability to Turing pattern formations and then exploring different tile sizes, symmetry and distortions — and mixing these properties in different combinations — offers you endless creative possibilities and allows you to generate any number of unique designs with different character! And with this class, I invite you to join in the fun and learn to combine the basic technique for generating Turing patterns with different pattern variation techniques to create a ton of unique seamless repeats — and all of this without drawing a single thing!
In this class you’ll learn:
— the basic technique for generating Turing patterns using Smart Objects, Smart Filters and Actions;
— a smart non-destructive workflow for generating seamlessly repeatable Turing pattern tiles;
— techniques for creating patterns with different character by using different tile sizes, exploring symmetry and structural distortions;
— how to speed up your workflow with sets of handy actions for generating patterns and creating pattern swatches;
— how to apply your patterns and colour your surface designs;
— how to create designs with perfectly smooth oversized patterns in Adobe Photoshop and avoid pixelation;
— and tips for creating and managing your pattern swatches, and exporting your surface designs.
What Students Say
"I loved this class! It is amazing! As always, Evgeniya is a totally creative professional, engaged in her courses, and one of the best teachers because she is teaching you amazing skills, but she also shows you the easiest and most practical way you can learn and experiment. The lessons are easy to follow, and you can put into action what you learn right away. For pattern designers or those who love patterns, this is heaven. You just need some time to test all that Evgeniya is teaching in this class, and you will discover endless patterns."

Software:
To follow along with the class you will need a desktop version of Adobe Photoshop which supports adding adjustments as Smart Filters and working with Smart Objects (any Adobe Photoshop CC version released in the past 5 years).
A complete step-by-step guide for any level:
— Whether you are a beginner and love the idea of creating patterns without needing to draw anything and want to learn some super useful Photoshop basics and create your first generative pattern,
— or an intermediate user who is excited to create a range of different patterns and explore a different workflow in Photoshop,
— or a pro who uses Photoshop a lot and want to add a nifty creative technique to your arsenal and pick up a few workflow tips for working with smart objects and actions — this class is for you!
By the end of this class, you’ll have a range of reusable assets (Master Files, Actions & Pattern Swatches) to use in your future projects and will be fully equipped to run wild with experiments and create a lot of different patterns in just a few clicks! I bet you’ll become obsessed with generating Turing patterns in different sizes, exploring symmetry and playing around with distortions — and I cannot wait to see all of the patterns and surface designs you create!
So join me in this class, and let’s push Turing patterns beyond their basics!
WHAT STUDENTS SAY
"Another great class from Evgeniya! Very clear with just the right level of explanation. Even though this class is focused on creating Turing patterns, it's also a fantastic introduction to using a smart, non-destructive workflow in Photoshop. I feel that a basic understanding of Photoshop helps, but the steps are so clearly outlined, a beginner should be able to follow along."

Evgeniya Righini-Brand
I am a graphic designer and founding partner at Attitude Creative. I love using surface patterns in design projects and printed products and I specialise in creating all sorts of abstract, organic and geometric patterns — and I teach a number of classes on the subject.
I fell in love with creating Turing Patterns as soon as I had learnt the basic technique for generating them, and after some experimentation I discovered that there is much more potential to this generative technique beyond imitating natural uniform surface patterns! And with this class I am excited to share with you how you can use this simple technique to easily and quickly create varied surface pattern designs, which you can incorporate as graphic elements into any graphic design, illustration or branding projects, apply to various print-on-demand products or sell as digital assets.
