1.1 Introduction

Hello there. My name is Simona, and welcome to Tuts+, and welcome to the course Master Patterns in Adobe Illustrator. In this course, you will get a deeper understanding on how to create a pattern from start to finish. You will learn how to create your own geometric patterns from scratch and how to save your own pattern libraries. Then we will go on to create patterns with the Pattern Options tool, how to alter patterns, fix them if we need to, and customize them, and create new patterns out of existing patterns. Then we will learn how to create our own Custom Pattern Brush. Once we are equipped with a good understanding of patterns, and how to create them, we will go on and create a complex custom vintage pattern from scratch as well. Patterns are fun, and the possibilities are endless. And we can see them everywhere from cellphone cases to bags to textiles to designs like business cards and so on. It is really fun to create your own custom patterns. So I'm really looking forward to walk you through mastering patterns in Adobe Illustrator. And I think we should start right away.
