If you missed the first session of the Design Your Own Patterns course, the replay is now available. In this first class we focused on how to design a project from scratch. Instead of starting with someone else’s pattern, we walked through how to look at a finished project and reverse engineer the design. During the session we covered: • The key questions to ask yourself when designing a project • How to break down a finished item into its basic components • The thought process designers use when creating patterns • How to create your initial design idea This is the foundation that turns “I like that project,” into “I know how to design that.” 📚 Where to Find the Replay VIP members can watch the replay in the Classroom area in the VIP Course area. 💛 Not a VIP Member Yet?
