10 DAYS UNTIL MODULE 1 STARTS! - Students from Sept '15 class describe their experience

We’re on the OFFICIAL 10 DAY COUNTDOWN to the start of Module 1: Designing your way.

On February 1, 2016 we’ll welcome students from around the globe for the start of 5 weeks of design fun, building a supportive community of new friends and showing what this industry can offer YOU.

Module 1 is ideal for anyone interested in a future career as a surface pattern designer, those looking to refresh their design skills or simply to rediscover their creative passion.

So we start off the countdown with some real-life comments from a handful of students who took our September 2015 Module 1 class. These are written in their own words, unprompted and unchanged (in case you thought it all sounds too good to be true!)

We asked our students…

How would you describe Module 1 to a friend?

Fantastic, exciting, inspiring and supportive! Loved every day of it! – Nadja

I would 100% recommend this course to everyone and would say that it is a great first step into the world of pattern designing. Most importantly, besides the great amount of knowledge you gain, it is so much fun and gives you a taste for pattern designing that makes you want to draw, paint and design all the time! – Hannah S

This has been the most amazing opportunity to start to find my direction in surface pattern design and to begin to see where I might fit into this as a career while being supported by an online community, the likes of which I’ve never experienced. – Pat

It is a very exciting, friendly environment to work in. Lots of creative exercises help you set your creativity free and increase your artistic confidence. – Laura

The course is delivered in an informal, relaxed and supportive format with something for everyone. You can take it at your own pace which is great and it covers off everything from the basics of where to find inspiration and sketching to developing technical repeat patterns and using Photoshop and Illustrator. – Claire

An inspiring opportunity to explore the basics of the world of pattern design, challenging and fun in equal measure. – Jennie
