Prints and patterns are all the rage the past few years and are excellent skills in the digital age. Learn how to create and paint your own Patterns in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop. Learn how to apply these patterns to home decor products. Perhaps you can use your pattern to open up your own etsy or Society 6 shop. The opportunities are endless with these skills. 

In this 103 level training you will learn Photoshop by completing a Real World project and develop it. You will then advance and qualify to take our 104 level to polish your project in our "Open Design" 104 training.
