(Chicago 1965) While watching a ballgame at Wrigley Field, I saw this fellow standing and smoking by the fence in front of the seats in center field.
Wormwooded log washed on shore. The seaworms boring leaves these old sea-veteran logs with beautiful bore patterns. Dinner Rock Regional Park, British Columbia, Canada.
Frost on the car windshield in the morning. Just used my old iPhone for this pic. I was late for work and didn't have time to get my camera to take a good shot.
This is my second pattern that I deconstructed. It is from the Print & Pattern Book 1 from Beth Gunell.
When I started to count the amount of colours, the different motifs and the small details, I discovered the intricity of the design and how it did work. In this design the amount of different colours is just amazing, though the pattern itself seems to be 'pink' at first sight.
I really loved doing this exercise. It opened my eyes and gave me good ideas of how I could expand the possibility of my own motifs.
This exercise might also be a good warmup if you get stuck somewhere in designing patterns. Not to copy these designs, but really seeing how another designer made a pattern work.
