For my first pattern (the one on the left) I chose to use an analogous color scheme focussed more on both warm like orange and red, as well as cooler colors like blue and purple. I wanted to use the analogous color rule because the color wheel on the adobe website was interesting to play around with. I like the cooler colors because blue is one of my favorite colors. I tried to play off the complementary color to blue which would be orange. I wanted to avoid the yellow green side of the color wheel. The five colors that I ended up using were orange, reddish, purple, indigo-ish, and blue. To me, I thought the color scheme worked well together, there were no colors that clashed and did not make the pattern look ununiformed. As for the pattern instead, I played around with the different shapes on illustrator and settled on using triangles, a circle, and polygons. The circle is red, the polygons are blue, orange and purple, while the square in the background is the indigo- ish color. I chose to make those shapes into a pattern because I wanted to design a colorful and simple pattern that had a rhythm. My first pattern is interesting because after editing the pattern settings, I was able to position my pattern stamp in a way that worked visually. There is repetition and rhythm going up and down as well as diagonally. Each shape and color are equally presented and not one thing stands out against the rest of the pattern. My first pattern I could see being used as fun tissue paper because of the liveliness of it. Or even as a small logo on a t- shirt, for a pop of color. For my second pattern (the one on the right) I chose to get colors from a photo I took on my way home from school. It was greenish and red skies from sunset. The colors that the adobe extracted as the themes were a dark red, a lighter red, teal, dark brown and a light gray brown. The colors were not as vibrant or bright as my first pattern colors, but the colors still worked. The reds complement the greenish teal, which helped to make the pattern more unified. For my second pattern I wanted to just use the rectangle boxes and tried to overlap and position all the rectangles in an interesting way. The darker red is in the corner as a small rectangle, while the dark brown rectangle is a very narrow strip of color. I did a narrow strip of color for the tealish color, however I rotate it 90 degrees, going from left to right. The teal rectangle crosses over a red rectangle, the biggest rectangle in the pattern stamp. I started with this big red rectangle first and worked around it. Lastly, the gray brown rectangle, I placed it above the red rectangle. The pattern turned out as I hoped it would be. There is a retro feeling to the way the rectangles are placed in relation to one another. I can see this pattern as a wallpaper background, or even as like retro dish towels. Both patterns were fun to do!
