FINALLY, WHAT FIVE THINGS DO YOU NEED TO CONSIDER WHEN DESIGNING A PATTERN SPECIFICALLY FOR PRINTING ONTO FABRIC OR WALLPAPER? 1. Set your colour mode and DPI settings first to ensure you get no surprises later. 2. Always consider what you are designing for in terms of layout and scale. 3. If you are designing a repeat, double and triple check it before sending it to print as those white lines can ruin a beautiful design. 4. Unless it’s geometric or repeating, try and design in a more abstract or fluid way or mix in textures or other elements. Often designers get lazy and simply mirror or tile their work, which can make designs less attractive or interesting. 5. Consider which fabric you are designing for and test it. This is important because using different fabrics can result in different effects, and often it’s the type of fabric that inspires new ideas too.
