Surface Pattern Design: A Handbook of How to Create Decorative and Repeat Patterns for Designers and Students

Rating:
Summary: Essential guide for surface designers
Review: Although this book was written 20 years ago and everybody is going crazy over computerized textile design, this book is one of the finest guides for the beginning designer. The book contains beautiful examples of textiles designed by the author, many of them for Schumacher, which prove to be incredibly inspiring and leave on in awe of her talents.
Not only does the book cover technique, but it also provides advice as to developing a portfolio, interviewing, and working in the real world.
I recently did a freelance project and I referred to this book for guidance on how to invoice the client.
This is a book that should be on every textile/surface designers' reference library.
