I am taking a couple of textile design classes at FIT this semester. First is Photoshop and the second is screen printing. I am enjoying both very much - although I find Photoshop a bit challenging as there are a lot of technical terms I need to memorize! My first assignment for the photoshop class is to create a tile design using photoshop to flip and rotate the image. Finished product is 8"x10" image that will have 20 2" blocks.
Above drawing is my original that I began with.
Then I selected a 2" square to work with.
Then using the 2" image, I created a 4" by copying the image onto a new document. Now I can play around with any of the 4 2" square by rotating it 90 degrees or 180 degrees.
Here are the three that I made for my assignment:
It was a fun project and I am happy with the way each came out so differently!
