For the two visual patterns selected I chose, Mr. Peanut and and then there’s this. Mr Peanut is the cover with the most organic representation  pattern. These patterns are more organic due to the fact that there is a representation of a skull with the use of dots.  These dots are a representation of organic because there is no actual form that reads as geometric rather more as an abstract pattern with the use of color and dots. The skull its self is a representation of a much more freeform canvas. As the tiled appears to be representing a repetition of dots that convey the image of a skull.  These dots also use different types of color to represent each dot, each color can convey a mood and have a representation that describes reality or codifies information as we perceive a given color to colors around it. For example, this image has an irregular repetition but it also uses skin tone colors to interact with each other as it represent a skull. As for the other cover that I chose And then there’s this has a more geometric pattern representation to it since there are actual rectangles used for the title. These rectangles are repeated a few times to give the title a stronger meaning as it sits on a colored back ground.  This pattern has more of a regular repetition as the rectangles repeat on top of one another giving this cover a more geometric feel. The color also gives it a different representations as designers use colors to either make something stand out or hide. This is being used to differentiate and connect, to highlight and hide. As for and then there’s this book cover uses bright colors to enhance the title. For this cover its well seen that the designer uses the opposite colors because opposites attract enhancing the title much more.
