The Pattern Journal: February!


Hey Reader,

February is a big month for pattern here at UPPERCASE!

Here's a list of what's happening...

SPDG6

First up, my opportunity partners and I are going through the nearly 800 submissions to the UPPERCASE Surface Pattern Design Guide. So much great work, it is quite the task to narrow it down! Everyone will be contacted by March. I'm designing this issue to be off to print in a few weeks. Subscribe to get this issue when it is released in April.


Pattern Design Playbook

Bonnie Christine has a great new workshop series that starts today! It's free! (I'm an affiliate for her upcoming Immersion program.)

Pattern Love Day, February 14

A day dedicated to surface pattern, starting at 9am MST on Feb 14. Mark your calendar!!!

Current members of the UPPERCASE Circle can RSVP here.

Submit your surface pattern design work to be featured in an upcoming newsletter or in UPPERCASE magazine.

The Year of the Snake
by Andrea Voros

To honour the Year of the Snake, I created a rainforest scene with native flowers, wild berries, snakes, and coffee beans, which I often saw on my hikes in Puerto Rico's rainforest. Instagram / Website

Patterns by Mona Monash

Patterns are my passion and nature is my main inspiration. I create expressive, art-driven patterns that blend bold aesthetics with intricate details. Instagram / Website
