Join our expert Trends Consultant Victoria Brawn of Porter & Brawn and Vic from team Make it in Design as they provide top tips on how to make sure your creativity flourishes this summer.
- Getting snapping away. Whether you are taking a break or a staycation document everything around you. You never know when you might see an inspiring colour palette, texture or motif print idea.
- Get doodling. Just five minutes a day will do wonders for your mind and will build up a reference source that you can keep going back to again and again.
- Repurpose an existing design. Whether you re-colour it or take a segment and change/ add to it’s a really great exercise to do.
- Create a playlist to design to. We’ve just this week had guest tutor Gail Myerscough from the Live Hub who is a big music fan. She created a playlist for our latest trend Westerncore – so why not do the same.
- Design/ pattern generator. So write down some subjects, animals, colours, activities etc and pop them in some boxes or envelopes and do a lucky dip. Then get designing.
This stream is in celebration of Summer Design School 2023! We have tracks to suit whatever level you’re at, whether you’re just starting out, or a professional designer, we’ve got you covered starting from just £25.
