What is Surface Pattern Design?
Surface pattern design is a type of artwork created by a designer for the purpose of applying to any surface to enhance its visual impact and presence. Surfaces may include textiles, wallpapers, products, packaging, etc.
There are two forms of surface design: Placement Design and Pattern Repeat. First we have Placement Design, which is generally a stand alone image placed in a controlled position on a product, (such as a t-shirt). Then we have Pattern Repeat, where the designer has turned the pattern into an infinite technical repeat. Achieving a seamless repeat is essential in this case, especially for applications like textiles or wallpapers, where the design needs to cover a large area without any noticeable gaps or interruptions.
Surface pattern designers use various mediums such as illustration, painting, hand lettering, digital tools, and more to create their designs. The choice of medium often depends on the desired aesthetic, the intended surface for application, and the overall theme or concept of the design.
