I have been taking photoshop classes in the textile department at FIT in New York city.  I just finished the second class this past spring.  I learned how to create textile repeats using the offset function.  For this project, we began with a fabric that was scanned into the computer.  I chose Moda Arcadia print by Sanae.  It is one of those lines that became popular after it disappeared.  With the scanned in image, I cleaned it up and created a perfect repeat pattern.  Then I created 2 coordinates (based on the original Moda Arcadia prints) and stripes and woven plaids.  Here is the original colorway plus 3 that I came up with.  I love the dusk color way.




Although it was a ton of work, I had a lot of fun playing around with the program.  I am thinking about taking the advanced photoshop class in the fall.  I would also think about Illustrator.
