Pattern Magazine Volume 5

Pattern Magazine Volume 5: Gathering Sunshine   Welcome to the fifth issue of Pattern magazine, a quarterly print publication for surface pattern designers.   Volume 5: Gathering Sunshine invites you into the warmth of summer, a season of long days, bright color, and carefree inspiration. As gardens reach full bloom and afternoons fill with lakeside adventuring, this issue encourages you to pause, soak in the beauty before you, and let the season fill your creative reservoir.   Inside these pages, you'll gather insights from licensing agents, explore the world of art gallery partnerships, and go behind the scenes of designing a dress collection from concept to launch. You'll learn the language of color, step inside a sunshine-filled studio, and discover the art of botanical printing. You'll also find encouragement to cultivate a creative practice with room for rest and play, because the unhurried moments of summer hold the stories and warmth that fuel the work to come.   Creativity looks a bit different in this season.
