Modules to Patterns

PATTERN I

The module I chose to explore first is my favorite. It has a very interesting composition and a strong contrast between light and dark. To create patterns in InDesign, I first tiled the module, then tried rotating, and then rotating and mirroring. I created six patterns total. It was really interesting seeing the pattern evolve to the last pattern, the pattern that I decided to use.

MONOCHROMATIC

ANALOGOUS

PATTERN II

With this second module I wanted to capture the vertical and horizontal movement in the photo; the movement of train and the towering skyscrapers. I never thought I would use this module because I thought it was so literal, but since it was really different from my other modules I wanted to see what I could create with it. It turned out pretty good.

ANALOGOUS

COMPLIMENTARY

COLOR INSPIRATION

I applied colors inspired from the work of Joe Slichta.
