Mitim By Ryan Gander https://www.patternfoundry.com/patterns/mitim

The first pattern I chose was from patternfoundry.com by Ryan Gander named Mitim. This pattern is geometric with a white and red pattern. The colors in this pattern do not change, instead all of the small squares are red and the background is white, which focuses the attention on the red squares. The small red squares are considered to be dots, and these dots make a linear path as described in the reading by Lupton and Phillips. The dots, smaller elements, link together visually to create a line. The dots and strips however do not form a grid. The dots and the lines are then tiled to make the pattern. The pattern is not randomly repeated instead it is a regular, recognizable (square) imagery in rows which is another reason why this is a geometric pattern, not an organic pattern.

The second pattern I chose was found on society6.com by Adam Turnbull named Happy Holidays No.2. This pattern is an organic pattern with the organic shapes being human outlines. There are five different kinds of human outlines that make up the pattern. Although these illustrations are recognizable forms, they may seem to be used in an irregular way, but at closer look, they are being repeated horizontally. The use of color in this pattern is very prominent. The use of color in this pattern creates depth and space. The background color being yellow forms a pattern in itself because of the negative space. There are also smaller shapes that appear to be in the background more compared to the human figures, which are placed seemingly random. Each figure in the pattern has a different color sweater, and because you can see the color being repeated, it is easier to identify the pattern as a whole.
