Blog Post #2: Pattern Design & Color Interaction

This is an example of a geometric pattern. It uses triangles, a basic geometric shape to complete the pattern. The pattern is very straightforward and is tiled. The pattern utilizes two different textured triangles to create the pattern, one with stipled dots and the other forming smaller teal-blue and salmon colored triangles within. One triangle pattern is placed and the other is reflected vertically and set next to the previous, and so on. The two colors used create a nice contrast, as the two are complimentary colors. The salmon color engages the eye first and creates a focal point within the pattern sequence.

This next pattern that I found, represents an organic pattern. This pattern uses a floral patterns, alternating between a few flower and leaf combinations. The red, yellow, and green colors all compliment each other well while providing good contrast. The flower combinations are rotated and turned different ways throughout the pattern, which make it organic. It is apparent that this is a pattern, but it is subtle and seamless in the ways in which it repeats itself.
