In this video I'm going to teach you how to do a geometric pattern
that you can put on high ticket items like duvet covers, shower curtains and credenzas. Let's go!!
Thanks for joining me on this video. My name is Juna with Detour Shirts. I've been designing
and selling t-shirts online since 2005 and in this video I want to teach you some of the tips
and tricks that I use. I recently made this video right here about high ticket price items and that
made me think of patterns because you put a lot of patterns on these high ticket price items like
duvet covers and shower curtains and credenzas and things like that all use patterns even phone cases
and pop sockets and tote bags and things like that so there's a lot of things a lot of print
on demand products that use patterns so one of the patterns that i've noticed recently when going to
target is this pattern that i saw on lysol you can see right here this geometric pattern
and oftentimes i look at patterns i love to look at patterns and think how can i make this so i'm
going to show you how to make this pattern in affinity designer how to color it and everything
and then save it as an svg and color it in canva and kittle so we're going to use a lot of the
different apps here i'm going to show you step by step on how to do it and how to save it and how to
color it it's all going to be in this video you're going to want to stay till the end to see how it
turns out but let's start by going to affinity designer and showing you the process so here we
are on affinity designer i have my art board here the first thing we're going to do is just change
the artboard size so click on your artboard go to transform we're only going to need a thousand by
a thousand so let's uncheck this and do a thousand so once you got it a thousand by a thousand right
here let's go back and zoom in so we can scroll here i'm holding down option and using my scroll
wheel and then hold down space bar to kind of move things around so option you can scroll back
as well all right next thing we're going to do is we're going to do a couple of circles so do
a circle get the circle tool right here or ellipse tool i think it's called all right and then hold
down shift to make a perfect circle you can see right there um you can make it whatever it is 200
whatever it doesn't matter the size of circle right now we're going to click on this uh arrow
the black arrow right here the move tool we're going to click on the circle hold down option
and drag so we're going to drag it until this line reaches the edge here but this one reaches there
so we're just kind of at a diagonal right there you see that where it's kind of crossing and let
it go so you're going to see an intersection right there that's what we need and we're going to do
intersection right here intersect and that's the size we need right there so the next thing we're
going to do is draw a square use the rectangle tool do like this and square and this square
we're going to color a different color so let's do it doesn't matter what color just blue if you want
and let's put it in the back and this one also shouldn't have a stroke on it so let's do that
and let's make sure both of these are the same size so let's do a hundred by a hundred
like that and sew this one as well
100 tab 100 tab so these two are the exact same size now we're going to grab this one and put it
over here and make sure they're exactly the same alignment so we're going to do align center and
align middle right there all right so let's zoom in so we can see what we're doing now
so we have two shapes we have the square let's go to the layers you have the square and the curve
right now we're going to want triangles and the way we're going to do that is we're going to copy
this rectangle so we're just going to hit command j you can see both of them there now we're going
to take the bottom one here we're actually going to do both can we do both yeah convert to curves
okay now we're going to click on the bottom one click on your node tool and click on this bottom
one and delete so you can see that's the top triangle this one right here we're going to do
the same thing but the opposite so click on this with the node tool and delete so now you have
two triangles and that curve right so next thing we're going to do is we're going to move this here
and let's change the color of this one too so it can be whatever color not the stroke
we're going to do like that good so now that we have all of them let's do this and
right butt up right against there like that no space but we're gonna flip it so like that and
we might have to there we go it kind of snaps and if you have snapping on like i do it should snap
and i think that's fine all right the next one we're gonna do is let's move this up and
down like this and it should snap and flip it so now that we got this whole thing right here
we're going to group it and we're going to make this whole thing 100 pixels so instead of 200
let's make it 100 and 100
good and we're going to butt it up here against the top like that and we should be able to fit
10 of these now in this thousand square so hold down option and shift and wait till that snaps
like that and hit command j 3 4 five six seven eight nine ten and we should get it
right there at the edge and we'll do the same thing select all of these and drag it down make
sure it snaps right there and we're gonna do uh this ten times so this one would be three four
five six seven eight nine ten so you see how that works so now we have this cool pattern right here
and just so that it's the right size we're gonna make sure that it's one thousand by one thousand
cool there we go very nice and now it can be a repeated pattern now if we wanna color it like
the lysol where it's different colors i'm going to show you a different trick to do this there's
not a real simple way to do this but we're going to ungroup all of these we're going to start here
click that one and go all the way down and select all of them or you can just hit select all command
a and we're going to go here and ungroup all of them so layer ungroup all and you can see it's
ungrouped everything and now we can randomly pick the colors so let's find a color palette first
i'm going to go to coolers.co so here i am at coolers.co this is where i love to pick colors you
can explore and find color palettes or make your own well let's explore and find a cool one here
you can see all these are the trending ones and we can pick any one of these i'm going to
pick one that kind of matches what we saw on the lysol that's more of an orangey red kind of thing
maybe this one this one i'll do this one right here you can export palette right here
and you can save it as a image so let's do that and let's just call it colors
export and what it saves it as is a png with these colors right here the hex codes and everything so
i'm going to bring this into affinity designer and we're going to use it so here i am back on
affinity designer i have my colors here from coolers and this artboard that we just did so
i'm going to copy this artboard one way you can do that is hold down option click on artboard
option shift drag you don't need shift but i'm using shift so that it's on the same alignment so
we're going to color this one a different color so let's close the first artboard and open the second
one that's this one right here you can see so i'm gonna use these colors and one of the ways to do
that that's really fun is to hold down command and start clicking on random ones like this so
i'll just go in here and just start clicking on random colors you know throughout the thing
so just have a kind of a randomized version of it and you can go back in and click different ones
but this this is kind of a fun way to do it to color so once you pick all your random ones
use your color tool your eyedropper and just click on this and now click on it so you can
see it colored all these different colors now you could go in here and also click on these like this
and just randomly pick colors too and click on it so this process takes a
little while because you're gonna have to like pick different colors here and then
pick this one i wish there was a faster way to do it but there isn't so i'm gonna
do this off screen and i'll show you what happens when i use all these colors so it took me a little
while to color these i just used these five colors right here you could use six colors i think five
to six colors are great and just click on these and you can see they're all this color palette
so the next thing i'm going to do is save this as an svg and bring it into canva and kiddo and
see how i can color it so click on artboard right here go to file export and right here it says svg
artboard1 and hit export and we can title it whatever i'm going to just call it color pattern
and we're going to pull this color pattern into canva and kittle so first canva here i
am on canva.com we're just going to create a new design it can be whatever size i'm going to just
do custom size 4 500 by 5400 we could have done that thousand by thousand as well but we'll just
enlarge it so go to uploads right here and upload media so i uploaded the color pattern you can
see right here just click on it and now we can stretch it like that and again you can change your
artboard size to match but i'm just going to show you how you can color it right so you can see here
are the five colors of my color palette and watch when i go to styles so now i can use these color
palettes here let's use color palettes see all and look what happens when i click on color palettes
in that cool it changes the colors that i've used here so you can try it out with different colors
and have fun with this so it already
does it and you can do it again it still saves it so this one might be cool but if
you go back to uploads you can still upload your original one if you don't like the colors here so
i think that color is really cool so what you can do now is if you like this color right here
you can export this with this new color and use it for red bubble and other places that
have products like merch by amazon society6 all of those and put it on the different products that
have patterns on it so phone cases and bags and shower curtains and and all those home products
let me show you how you can do it on kiddo in the same way so here i am on kiddo app.kiddle.com new
project i just started one and if i go here and do uploads i can upload the same thing pick my upload
pattern from your drop down and you can see all i have to do is click it on here as well
it's going to remember the colors take a little while but i'm going to stretch it out as well
so you can see it and i'm going to move my face because the color palette is below here so let
me get this out of the way if i do this now i can try their color palettes and check it out
kind of some cool more vintage looking color palettes
right
and of course if you go in here you can change any of these colors
to something different so if you come in here and want to try different colors as well it
will change just those colors on the color palette so you can make it lighter darker
whatever you want you want this darker color more red you can come in here you know and like that so
have fun with this a couple of ways where you can change the colors really easily so have fun with
this one put these patterns on different products and hopefully you get some sales
so i wanted to show you one last thing this is the color that i have with canva the pattern
that i made on affinity designer with the colors in canva you can see i brought it in
as a png i exported as a png and because it's a square i can do some cool things with it so
you can see here it fits perfect on here but like the desk mat for example if i enabled this
here you can see it still needs to stretch out and i have it at 100
so one thing i could do is make sure that it's bigger or i could choose a pattern here and put
regular grid and you can see it just looks like it matches now and just continues that pattern
because it has that regular grid or you can choose the offset grid and it does a different
pattern here too so it looks like it's totally different and you can't see the pattern so that
that's a good compromise as well both of those work and i can save my changes and you can see it
fits on duvet covers and shower curtains and all the new stuff here just so many products that you
can put patterns are on and change the colors too so you can do this with different colors in canva
just keep changing the colors and doing it so have fun with this one this is a cool one to have
backpacks and leggings and duffel bags and just redbubble has so many products that you can do so
try it out have fun with this one put it on all the different products and try different colors
