Pattern Homework

So, this is my foray into pattern networks. The lecture was really helpful in showing how to build an intricate weave from a basic unit. I especially liked assigning the units with a letter, and expanding the formula accordingly (e.g. AaAaAa).

I used the teardrop shape, because that's my shape inspiration (i.e. peacock feather). I started out with a really simple execution, and then for the last one, I wanted to go for an "ogee" network or a "scale" network. I may need to consult with my teacher to see if I did it right.

Inflation of Fashion

I just don't know how she can sit down in this. But I like it! I would wear this to the premiere of the 3D animation, Up. Here's more of it

Achromatherapy

I hereby name these pattern swatches as: Nom De Plume, Croiss, and Foliag.

Nom De Plume, (nom-day-ploom)

as a tangent anagram for plumage, inspired by peacock feathers.

Croiss, (c-wahz)

because it's so French, delicate, and really, it reminds me of croissants.

Foliag, (f-ho-lia)

inspired by foreground leaves you defocus from spotting your crush from the other side of the park.

Printed Matters

Prints are like personalities. Throw in an animal print to a solid colored environment, and you got yourself that life of the party character that everyone gravitates to. Or a mix of floral prints, and you've got yourself that dainty, delicate bud of a girl who wouldn't even hurt a fly.

I personally only still use the staple prints in calculated proportions in my life. Thin stripes on my long-sleeved polo shirt. Flower prints on my skirt. My favorite plaid school girl skirts. And that's about it. I don't do line drawings of mini-monsters, or polka dots. I have a tie-die hood scarf, and that's about as hippy as I can get. I guess if you throw all my prints in a room, you'll be in the company of refined, classic women - who let loose every so often as a hipster, a boho chic, or a mysterious minx.

I Missed Pantone

I missed Pantone. I had to take a break otherwise I was going to get really sick. But I wish I was there. :/ I wanted to suggest they should come out with a nail polish line.
