Japanese Patterns

   My motif is many different ellipses rotated five degrees. It then has squares and hexagons within it done in a similar fashion in one solid gray. It resembles some pieces on backs of cards. I was actually inspired by cards and simply started rotating ellipses to see how it looked. The idea of this project was to make something that radiates out from the center and creates a pattern.

   My repeating pattern is hexagons and diamonds moving downward and left and right. It looks similar to beads that hang from doorways or streamers. I was inspired by a hexagon pattern that used multiple different colors but because it did, I couldn't use it here so I made my own. The idea was to make a pattern that repeated from all sides.

  1. I think your design patterns are very complicated yet simple at the same time. I think the second design should incorporate a secondary color to work with the primary one.

  2. Your radial motif is very nicely done, very clean, but you kind of copied Ben's. Maybe you should redo it, or add some color to it.

  3. I agree with Alex and you should probably redo it

  5. I like your motif but your repeat pattern is a bit busy and it looks like it has lines running through the ends.

  7. Your pattern looks good but the motif is out of style from everyone else's. It is solid black and there is no gray or blue.

  8. I like your repeat pattern because it has so many different shapes and looks pretty good. The motif looks super cool with all the lines and other shapes going through each other.
