Patterns





Patterns are everywhere, and can be created out of anything. This certain picture is very simple in color and style, but if you think of it as a single unit in a pattern, your impression of it changes. If this is flipped, rotated, and repeated multiple times, the pattern gets more intricate and interesting. This activity makes me think about things differently. Sometimes the negative space of a page can be transformed into an entirely different designed when tiled. For example, a simple shape such as the outline of an ipod with headphones can be made into a very intriguing piece.
