Starting my pattern design.

As part of my pattern design project, I had to create my own tile pattern print. I chose to use a bow shape. I wanted to make my pattern relevant to me as a person, so when people look at my pattern they would know that I have designed it. In my everyday fashion styling I include a bow somewhere in my outfit, weather it being a ring, a bow tie, or a bow hairband, the bow is always there in someway. So to start off I had to do an observational drawing of a bow, I chose a large bow and a small bow. I then took an A1 piece of paper and had to transfer my observational bow drawing ( 2 tile) onto the paper. I used the measurements of my 2 tile drawing to map out where my print would lie on the A1 paper. I then used the light box to trace my pattern onto the larger piece of paper. I repeated my pattern Until my page was full. Here is how it looked. I was really pleased with my print.
