Hi, my name is Teo Yang, and I'm the founder
and creative director of "Teo Yang Studio."
I'm deeply inspired by tradition and regional characteristics,
and through my various projects
I try to contemporaneously reinterpret the values of the past.
As examples, I work with brands such as
"Eastern Edition" and "EATH Library."
Today, I'm going to be using Adobe Stock
to share with all of you guys
how to create a pattern.
In everything I create, the story is the most important part,
and it's the first step of the process.
The story for our brand today is based on a time traveler
who's moving through space
between different periods and places
in the past, present, and future.
So right now,
I'm just searching for some reference images
by looking at collage projects with mixed images.
Before getting started, I'm just going to sketch out a few ideas that come to mind.
So, now that I've finished sketching through a bit of research and brainstorming,
I'm just going to log into the Adobe Stock website, and start my project.
Adobe Stock lets you access millions of royalty-free images,
illustrations, videos and audio tracks, and 3D assets
all from one place.
I started by searching for images of space and abstract textures.
Now, I'm just looking for
some various elements that I can use to tell my story.
I'm just grabbing a bunch of images of space, with these futuristic elements
and putting them into my pattern.
There's a feature that makes it easy to find stuff you like
and save it to your library for later on.
I think it's really useful.
Now I'm just looking for some images of asteroids.
To find the exact asteroid that I want,
I'll hop onto the Find Similar feature to look for the image.
It's great because it really saves a lot of time.
Okay, so now I'm jumping over to Adobe Illustrator
to make a draft of my collage.
To start, I'm using an abstract marbling texture for the background.
For my space-time portals,
I'll just express them symbolically, as circles
and inside each one of them
I'm inserting various images sourced from Adobe Stock.
Once the shadowing is done, I'll just use these to make my pattern.
To make the effect even more dynamic,
I'll make 4 copies of the images, and turn them around.
After that, with the pattern tool in the object,
I can easily finish off my pattern, which goes on and on.
Now, I can take my finished pattern
and apply it to different products of this brand.
I'll just log into the Adobe Stock website, and search canvas bag templates.
Once I find a canvas bag template,
I can use the Smart Object feature in Photoshop
to apply my design.
If I just save my pattern in the Smart Object feature,
it automatically completes my mockup.
And just like that, we get to see the finished result.
Finally, there's our finished product.
So, I'll just briefly go over the process once again.
I did some sketches after researching and brainstorming,
and then I sourced a few images through Adobe Stock
to express my sketch ideas.
Next, I created my pattern using Adobe Illustrator
and then, with the Smart Object feature in Adobe Photoshop,
I was able to easily finish some mockup products.
