For this workshop, I decided to experiment by making different repeating patterns using Photoshop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s my first attempt with making a repeated pattern on Photoshop. For this, I used the shape tool. I wanted to start off with a more simplified design, then move onto a more complicated design once I was more confident. So, I used different coloured shapes for the first one. For the colours, I decided to use different shades of pink. I think the colours I picked go well together, however the square is a bit too bright so if I had to change anything about this I would make it a bit lighter to match the other shapes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For my second try, I decided to try a more complicated pattern, so I made a sunflower pattern. I first designed the whole sunflower that you can see in the tile below that I made for this.. I then cut it in half and stuck one half at the top and one at the bottom, so that it looks like a whole flower once I put multiple tiles together. To fill in the empty space behind the flowers, I decided to add stars since the black background reminded me of space. I think adding the stars makes this piece much better. The sunflower at the top doesn’t match the flower at the bottom perfectly but its a small enough difference that its not too noticeable. If I did this again I would move it slightly or edit it so it fits perfectly like the whole sunflower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s another repeated pattern that I did. For this one, I wanted to make it similar to my main inspiration for this activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My main inspiration for this workshop was this piece by Kaela Stewart. While this isn’t exactly a repeated pattern, it looks like it is and I like how it looks. Especially the use of colour in this piece. The red strawberries are a great pop of colour. To me, when I first look at this piece, those are what my eyes are drawn to. The leaves surrounding them are less saturated, which helps them stand out,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So here’s my repeated pattern inspired by this piece:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here’s the tile I designed for this piece:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personally, I really like how this turned out. The red flowers give it the pop of colour that I loved in the artists work that inspired this piece. My only complaint based on this piece is that the background looks empty in some spots. So, if I was to change anything about this piece, I would add more things to the background, like spots, small leaves or even petals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
