Bottle Fame and Brew Glory: Teaching Myself How to Repeat Pattern

One of my biggest enthusiasms lies with pattern design in the creative world of design and illustration and I love to come up with a few things of my own. However, I had never really created a repeat pattern of my own before. - time to set that straight, and what better way to go about it that using one of my biggest influences, Harry Potter!

 

I took down potions that were mentioned in the Harry Potter series and their book-page-number code down and turned them into potion label details. I then tried to embody the potion's use in the bottle shape and label design.
I did all this by pen. Then I scanned the drawings in and arranged them into the best composition, ready to create it into a repeat tile in photoshop.

Things are starting to get Festive over here!

In the build up to Christmas... yes it's still only October, but you've got to be prepared, no!?

I've been working on some Christmas themed repeat pattern designs for CygnetINK using a max of two christmas decorations in each. 

I've also uploaded them in my society6 store!

A few items in the society6 range for these festive prints!...
