Geometric Pattern http://society6.com/ Found on Tumblr, Pattern by Mrs. Opossum

I searched Tumblr for “organic patterns” and “geometric patterns” and searched for quite a while until I felt I found the best two fitting patterns. There were many to choose from but these two stood out to me the most. I chose the black and white image as the organic pattern because it feels more irregular to me. It’s hard to define where the pattern starts or ends. The drawing inside the pattern is black on a white background. These flower-like images overlap each other creating more abstract lines crossing paths. This pattern would look completely different if it were in color, I think it would defeat the purpose of the flowers overlapping each other and being transparent. I am interested to see what it could look like if it were made in color and then compare it to the black and white. The second image I chose as the geometric pattern. I saw columns repeated in this pattern and lines in a row. The zig zag lines manage to create the lines and columns although each little rectangle is a different color. There isn’t an obvious color pattern but the same color scheme is used throughout. These colors are very saturated and bright and some pop more than others. The hues range in temperature and are mixed around in the pattern. The darker hues that are more saturated stand out more than the light pinks and light greens. Because the colors are so saturated and bold, they really stand out against the white background. Also since they are repeated next to each other they create the solid bold white lines in between the pattern. This helps define these columns as a pattern.
