Don’t Bend . . .

"Don't bend; don't water it down; don't try to make it logical; don't edit your own soul according to the fashion. Rather, follow your most intense obsessions mercilessly." ~Franz Kafka

Creating My Quiet Blooms Pattern

Creating My Quiet Blooms Pattern

This is another design I created for Make it in Design’s Winter School 2021. The trend brief was Quiet Shadows. This trend balances strength & endurance with delicacy and elegance.

Quiet Blooms Mood Board

I was inspired by my own photos of shadows, silhouettes of natural forms, and the Japanese art of flower arranging, Ikebana, to create this mood board.

Quiet Blooms Color Palette & Motifs

I chose a simple flower shape and several different widths of wavy lines as my motifs for this design. My color palette has warm oranges combined with desaturated blues and greens.

Quiet Blooms Pattern

I created the pattern in Adobe Illustrator. I placed the wavy lines in the background and the flowers in the foreground, keeping in mind Ikebana’s principles. I added transparency to the flowers to blend them into the background a bit.

Quiet Blooms Products.

I added Quiet Blooms to my Redbubble shop on clothing, art prints, home decor, and phone cases.

Creating My Bohemian Patchwork Pattern

Creating My Bohemian Patchwork Design

I created my Bohemian Patchwork pattern for the Kinfolk brief in Winter School 2021 by Make it in Design. This trend combines bohemian quirkiness with folk style to create colorful, maximalist designs.

Art journl spread used as inspiration

Instead of creating a mood board, I used this art journal spread as the inspiration for my pattern.

Color palette and motifs for pattern

I used the color palette provided in the brief. I drew the motifs by hand, scanned them, and traced them in Adobe Illustrator.

Bohemian Patchwork

I added color to the motifs and arranged them in a repeating pattern.

Bohemian Patchwork Design on products

I uploaded the pattern to my Redbubble shop and added it to clothing, home decor, and lifestyle products.
