I am diane gibbs, a budding surface pattern designer and host of the Creatives Ignite Podcast. As I am learning Surface Pattern Design, I've some encountered some hurdles. Because of these challenges, I want to analyze many successful surface pattern designers, what attracts me to their work, and analyze their collections and patterns to see if I can create the formula I've been needing so that the hero pattern stops eluding me.
In this series, I am digging into what makes their collections successful and try to reverse-engineer their collections, mini-collections, and specifically how they construct their hero patterns.
This week I am analyzing designer, Mercedes Cortés' Whimsical Boho Garden Mini Collection which was an award-winner in one of Spoonflower's bi-monthly challenges.
I do not personally know Mercedes but am a fan of her work and love that she has different styles. I am trying to keep these analyses under ten minutes and take you along as I look at some of my favorite surface pattern designers.

HURDLES: Pushing Through: Making & Uploading the first patterns
This week I have faced the hurdles. Taken time to study, try, and overcome. I've won this week, because I have completed things that I have not even attempted because I thought it would take so long to complete. I have a new philosophy I am still getting used to. I am going to make time to figure it out. I am going to not wait because I am scared.
Hope this episode gives you some encouragement and hope. Also I recorded about six hours of making and squashed it into 28 min. I know not everyone is a pattern designer so I sped up some parts. But think about your process, are there ways you could get faster or work smarter?
