Pattern Experiments

Using the same template, I wanted to make a range of patterns, that would be seen within the picnic, but would work together with the event as well..

I have looked at some japanese patterns, and found that many of them are of single shapes that have been tessellated, here I have used a triangle, and rotated it round three times, and used live paint to fill in the different areas.

The colours are experiments, I have chosen them as I think they best represent the country and also the opera.. I wanted to see how they work together, but also what colours work better..

Next : Where will these patterns be seen.. need to put them into context to see how each pattern works.. and then also how the colour will work..


I like the pastel colours more than the darker more vibrant colours. I think they reflect the natural look I am aiming for, and is much more subtle..

Pattern

I want to look into pattern a bit more, and use this in some of the products.. This is a pattern still made from the 'O' in CAC Champagne typeface.. I was specifically looking at this to be the pattern for the blanket.. Keeping the traditional red and white crossed pattern in mind, but changing the pattern to look a bit more complex..


I need to see how many patterns I can create and see which one works best..

This one feels more like a material.. as if it has been weaved like this.. and because the single pattern hasn't been reflected, it feels more like the traditional pattern in a way..

Again.. this looks like a material, but has much more white in it than the pattern above.. looks more equal to the red, and is quite similar to squares, just a bit more rounded.. 

Tessellating the pattern, I came up with this pattern.. which looks like there is lots going on.. a bit unsure about it..
