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.
