Collection Planner Worksheets for the surface pattern designer

I created these worksheets for myself, to help me stay organized. They are meant to help tame the ‘mess’ of post it’s and loose papers covered with thoughts, notes and sketches.
They are meant to make it easy to revisit and reference the information during the pattern collection creation process.

There are many ways to create pattern collections, and the rules might vary from company to company, and from industry to industry.

These worksheets are not based on any one set of hard rules, but on guidelines. They will help you work through essential steps, and hopefully keep you focused and organized in the process.

To mark and celebrate what has turned into “surface pattern design week” in the online world every year for 5 years now, here is a download for all surface pattern designers. The Collection Planner worksheets are meant to be helpful and a guide that can be adapted and used across industries.
I’d love to hear your thoughts if you use them.
