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!
