How to Create a Cohesive Visual Design System with Tyler Pate
Every great product starts with a simple idea. In this Adobe Live session, we'll transform a series of original illustrations into a cohesive visual system designed for products. Beginning in Adobe Illustrator, Tyler will create a series of custom illustrations while sharing his approach to composition, color, texture, and scalable design. Then we'll bring those assets into Adobe Firefly Boards to quickly explore how the artwork could extend across packaging, stickers, and other real-world applications. Whether you're creating for yourself or building assets for a brand, you'll learn how to think beyond an illustration and start visualizing a design system that scales.
