We are thrilled to be working with Patternbank again this year who’ve supplied the Spring/Summer 2018 trends for this year’s Summer School.

The Make it in Design team have recently published the‘The Surface Pattern Design Lookbook – Volume 3’ – an amazing collection of designs curated from the Make it in Design Summer School 2016!

Take a look at some of the gorgeous pattern designs that came out of Summer School 2016 from French Riviera to Souk inspired surface pattern!

Last year we provided a summer of fun with six detailed design briefs for our students to create to and we we’re absolutely blown away by the submissions! So much so that we just had to share them. We were joined by hundreds of people from over thirty countries as they designed to a variety of trends from pop art to summer botanicals.

So as a celebration and thank you to the wonderful work produced here is ‘The Surface Pattern Design Lookbook – Volume 3’! You can view a selection of the pages below or click here to view the lookbook on Issu.
