Cycling and Pattern Design

Surface Pattern Design
Written By Karen Erasmus

I've been wanting to find an excuse to design a pattern for a cycling shirt and this weeks Spoonflower challenge was just perfect. I was really working from what I'd like to wear as a cycling. I enjoyed playing with the colour palette and there's definitely some more playing around to be done. Maybe the pink as a background or even an additional panel? The maths involved in creating this was daunting at times. I created each of the wheels and cogs in Adobe Illustrator. The mock-up came from Creative Market which is an increasingly valuable design resource for me.
