10 Days to go: The power of a design community

We’re on the official countdown to the start of our next round of popular surface pattern design courses starting September 21, 2015. Over the next 10 days we’ll highlight our favourite reasons why you should join us!

When you join one of our courses you roughly know what you’re going to get, right?

They’re pattern-based design courses, you know you’ll be doing a lot of that.

They focus on the business element too, so you know the ins and outs will also be covered in detail.

You’ll no doubt know that you’ll have access to a wealth of valuable content to really push your design career further and be offered a number of exclusive opportunities, and that you’ll be inspired by interviews with flourishing designers and leaders in this exciting industry you want a piece of and ultimately emerge a better, more confident designer than you were before you started.

But wait…

Did you also know about the power of our community?

As standard, you will be supported, motivated and driven in the direction of making your career as successful and inspiring as possible in class thanks to the incredible community that surrounds each of our courses.

Just this year alone we have welcomed hundreds of designers and creatives from over 38 countries to join us on our courses and partnered with a fabulous array of established brands, designers and companies who’ve contributed to make The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design what it is today (more on this later!).

Many meet up outside of class…

Others form incredible partnerships…

Such as the fabulous Wendy Kendall a former graduate of The Art and Business of Surface Pattern Design. Who joined forces with several other designers she met through our course to create Dotty Wren Studio. This is testament to the incredible community that has built up around our course.

Dotty WrenAnd others rave about it…

“The most powerful element of the course for me has been the sense of community that has been present throughout the past eight weeks.  This sense of community has offered support, advice and inspiration, this valuable resource has really helped me develop my sense of identity as a designer.” Sue D

“ABSPD and my fellow students have encouraged me to be confident in my work and because of the feedback and constant inspiration from others I’ve grown so much in just a few short months. And that is priceless.” – Beth S

“The Facebook Group has been such a fun, safe place to find support and inspiration.  The whole experience has been wonderful” Michelle

“Sharing and showing the work in a group setting has been the best thing of all. Such an amazing, supportive design community online under the watchful eye and guidance of Rachael. Thanks you so much for this course, it has been such great value for money also, highly recommended by me!” – Adrienne

Being part of a community is about sharing, growing and opening up to who you really are.

We really hope you can join us for one of our acclaimed surface pattern design courses starting September 21 and that you get to experience this amazing community too.

Find the course that’s right for you and we’ll be here to welcome you in through the virtual doors.

See you soon!
