Description
Understanding the design and composition of regular patterns is essential for creating visually appealing designs. This book provides guidelines for original pattern design alongside an exploration of the inherent structures of these patterns.
The authors begin by examining compositional elements, before delving into patterns found in nature, early forms of pattern-making, and classification methods based on geometric shapes such as circles, squares, triangles, and symmetry. With over 250 images sourced from a range of examples, including student work, this book offers valuable insights into the relationship between simplicity and complexity in pattern design.
