Upcoming Event: Print Studio Workgroup
Is your portfolio finalized and are you ready to apply to print studios? We’re here to help!
On Monday, November 2nd we are excited to start our popular Print Studio Workgroup. This group will meet on Mondays at 1pm EDT for four weeks and will walk you step-by-step through the process of reaching out to print studios for representation.
There will be a short presentation at the beginning of each session with time for questions. Discussions will take place throughout the week on our forum. All sessions will be recorded and posted to the Lab.
The only requirements are that you 1) are a current TDL member and 2) that you have an online portfolio that you are ready to show to print studios! Members can register here.
New Tutorial: Developing Coloring Pages
Have you taken part in our Friday Coloring Hour? During these weekly video calls you can bring your own project to work on, or print out and use one of our coloring pages. Chelsea is the one who creates these coloring pages, and has a lot of fun making them! We had a request for a tutorial on how she creates these pages, and you will learn how in this new video!
New Chelsea’s Challenge: Stripes & Circles
For this month’s challenge we are going to focus on two iconic geometric patterns – stripes and circles. How you choose to utilize these two elements up to you–you might make a collection that is only composed of circles, one that is solely focused on stripes, or combine the two within a collection or within the individual patterns you create. You could go very crisp and graphic by creating your patterns in Illustrator, or more organic by hand-drawing your motifs or playing with Photoshop brushes.
We’ve provided two color palette options, from WGSN’s “Euphoric” and “Connected” palettes for S/S 22. But as always with Chelsea’s Challenge, these are offered simply as a jumping-off point and you can feel free to explore color as you wish.
