The Seasonal Design Roadmap
$10.00
If you’ve ever designed for a holiday the same month it’s happening… you’re not alone.
Most new surface pattern designers create in reaction to the season they’re living in — but if you’re positioning yourself as a licensing artist, a designer for makers, or even a product designer, you’ll need to work well in advance.
The Seasonal Design Roadmap removes the guesswork and tells you exactly when to plan, create, and release your seasonal work so you can stay 1–2 steps ahead instead of scrambling to catch up.
