peaceful peaceful

This mood board was created in the preliminary research stage while learning about Istanbul, Turkey, and what could represent Istanbul. Istanbulpeaceful was found to be a place of architectural feats, famous for their mosaics and patterns, so many patterns are in the mood board. Since the flag of Turkey is red, I also put compositions of pictures with an aesthetically pleasing red in the color palette.
