“If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
GET YOUR WORK OUT THERE!
Nothing will happen if there are no eyeballs on your work!”
– Khristian A Howell
The Make it in Design team published the first Surface Pattern Design Lookbook only 3 months ago featuring designs from Summer School 2014. In that time almost 30,000 people have viewed it around the world. 30,000 people. That’s immense given it’s such a recent publication and the numbers continue to rack up each week. In addition, our popular MOYO magazine has been viewed over 2.5 million times since it launched – now that’s seriously impressive!
Colour and Pattern expert, Khristian A Howell’s words are true. You need to get yourself out there. Get noticed and show the world what you’re made of and joining Summer School this July is a fantastic way to do so. You can start building up a story for future clients to see where your work has been published and what industry events you’ve been involved in.
When you take part in Summer School 2015 you get the chance to have your work featured in the world’s first on-line magazine dedicated to surface pattern design ‘MOYO‘, on the Make it in Design blog and social networks and in the Surface Pattern Design Lookbook Volume 2.
Word is getting out about our lookbook, with future versions being identified as ‘ones to watch’ by those in the industry scouting new talent. Read some of the amazing comments below:
“The quality of the course graduates work is excellent and incredibly professional. Arranging the designs by theme is fabulous for those looking for on trend prints such as tropical and tribal. They can find potential designs to buy or licence at a glance and can easily compare artists styles. For the students this kind of exposure is invaluable – they will have the full force of the Make it in Design team behind them, possibly reaching industry insiders you just couldn’t reach on your own.” – Marie Perkins, Print and Pattern
“The Surface Pattern Design Lookbook Vol 1 is an amazing resource for those just starting out in surface design and those looking to advance their portfolio. Here at DENY Designs, we are always looking to add talented artists to our family. We definitely look at publications like this to find emerging new talent. We love seeing the pieces displayed in the Lookbook with the ability to learn more about the artist, with a simple click, that created them!”– Lisa Kelly, Artist Relations Manager, DENY Designs
“It’s a really fantastic and diverse collection of on-trend surface pattern art as interpreted by a wide range of designers. It’s also a good resource for those like myself who are always looking for new designers and fresh styles.” – Sienna Parulis-Cook, Editor, Cardmaking & Papercraft
“The Surface Pattern Design Look Book by Make it in Design is a treasure trove of ideas and inspiration, and we can’t wait to see who will be featured in the next issue. It is quickly becoming a ‘must be in it’ for any emerging textile designer!” – Massimo Iacoboni, Producer, Printsource New York
“What a fabulous ‘go to’ resource for any industry seeking new design talent!

A perfect showcase for any aspirational surface designer.” – Janine Burrows, Senior Designer, Jam and Ginger Design Studio
