Organic Surface Design in Adobe Photoshop: From Basic Turing Patterns to Unique Seamless Repeats

Learn to smartly combine the basic technique for generating Turing patterns in Adobe Photoshop with different tile sizes, symmetry & structural distortions to easily & quickly create any number of unique seamlessly repeating surface patterns with different character, which can be printed on products, sold as digital assets or used in your graphic design, illustration or branding projects!

UNLOCK THE FULL CREATIVE POTENTIAL BEHIND GENERATIVE TURING PATTERNS

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 course, 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 1 hour 10 minute course (split into 16 video lessons), 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.

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 course is for you!

This course is designed for aspiring and established graphic and pattern designers, illustrators and digital artists, and anyone else who loves the look of organic generative patterns!

By the end of this course, 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!

Join me in this course, and let’s push Turing patterns beyond their basics!

Required Software:

To follow along with this course 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 7 years).

What Students Say About This Course:

"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." — Janis

"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." — Pria

"Enjoyed this class a lot! I had seen a prior YouTube video on Turing patterns, but yours adds SO much more variation. I will definitely be using this technique in the future!" — Elizabeth

"This class was so cool! This method is like magic. I have no idea how it actually works, but Evgeniya's directions were clear and easy to follow during the video. I am confident that I can continue making more Turing patterns on my own, and plan to do so!" — Tamar
