Von Glitschka + Drip Dot Swirl
April 13, 2009
Take one tablespoon of Jackson Pollack, mix in two cups of M.C. Escher and sprinkle in a pinch of William Morris-you’ll get “Drip Dot Swirl.” Finally, there’s an exceptional resource for creatives who love pattern, but can’t devote hundreds of hours developing swatches. In “Drip Dot Swirl,” you get an amazing professional resource library–with 94 premium, original vector patterns. Styles range from intricate knot-work to subtle florals to retro wallpaper to alien-inspired mazes. Patterns are equally useful for personal or professional projects.
This eye-popping book/DVD set features handcrafted vector patterns which tile seamlessly. In example usages from ten artists, you’ll see how top designers incorporate the patterns in various styles. The DVD contains all 94 source files in vector EPS format (three color options per pattern), swatch libraries and PDF tutorials on how to use the files. Beginners and advanced designed professionals will both be able to jump right in.
Designers and illustrators who want to wield the power of pattern will keep this book close by. It’s one you’ll use again and again, for brochures, scrapbooks, illustrations, website backgrounds, textiles, altered art and more.
Illustrative designer and author Von Glitschka is nationally recognized for his art and his passion to educate designers. As with his previous work, “Crumble Crackle Burn,” Glitschka uses “Drip Dot Swirl” to share some of his design mojo and to provide creatives and hobbyists a simple means to use high-quality art resources in their own work.
“Drip Dot Swirl” explodes with pattern. It’s unique and it jumpstarts the imagination. Take the fast train from Boringville, and enter the fascinating world of interlocked embellishments.
