Description
Shaping their own path
Do you know what a drop repeat is? Or an allover, a foulard, a floral, or a conversational? They are all terms from the world of pattern design. There doesn’t seem to be one for pattern design that is based on the use of shapes – but that is what this issue’s main feature is all about.
Shapes are a fundamental constituent of almost any form of visual art. As featured artist Andy Gilmore puts it: “Pattern design is about harmony in all its elements – form, colour and composition”. The ability to envisage the big picture, to see the wood for the trees, is a rare one. Merely reproducing over and over what looks good on a sheet of paper or a computer screen won’t cut it: it is the overall effect that counts.
