HAVE TRYING to make a type of repeating for original pattern, to see how it can be in other scale enable to be used in diverse path of production.

TOP & COLOR CHIPS, in ten providing.

A main color structure

LENS CORRECTION has developed many times to create different shapes than original pattern. Finally named, Fantasy Paradise, in blue tone.

THIS PATTERN has been transformed several mirror effect in Photoshop. I had thought how it become afterwards when changing the form, its direction and arrangement etc. to gained an unknown and unpredictable consequences.

HAVE BEEN tried to double the last single one of pattern, but the result seems a bit scared, looks like a pair of eyes watching at me with shape of diamond in the centre.

WHEN IT developing in digital way by those of photos I took in trip at Italy.

Focusing on Flower transforming for this project what I always intrigued by natural, plants, flora, earth of issues etc. in human living environment. Those of are my aspiration came from. Not only the colors attractive in thousand, millions of a series of colors combination, also the form it has presented from bud to flower as the larva to adult in live evolution.

Four sides reflection as we see the kaleidoscope holding in hand towards the object, would bring the whole new visual images to our brain.

THE COLOR presentation has blur and mixed with two main colours in gradient methods, blue and purple, to create a mystery somewhere I was visited in during the trip.

I WAS thinking how to manipulated this pattern into dress front arrangement with print and colors setting. It looks better front and down sleeves has a print on it then put the solid color at arm position, would not looks inharmonious with wholeness of the garment.

THE PRINT in front of dress and collar are overall position on 100% polyester, and both arms are solid color with printed sleeves on chiffon.

EXPANSION for this one, properly would not suitable to print on those harder texture of fabrics‌ Or could be used in part of section of garment.

IT COULD BE change from 2D into 3D, as a 3D postcard demonstration enable to look at different angle as something objectives moving on in fabric.

There have one example as similar as I’ve seem one of dress in Bloomingdale’s Haute Couture department store @ New York City, it was used two layer of fabric, one is basis fabric of dress, then put on silk or other to printing on both same pattern, therefore it has 3 dimensional visual effect. It can be a trend for the print development.

EXTENDING this pattern to make a sleeve, and put on the centre of point to the both elbows, does it looks nice on top of jacket‌?!

IT HAS been transformed many times and repeating in multi way, refer to last pattern I created. The proportion is quite balance in four sides of each. Top or pants are acceptable to print on. The straight main lines in between, has a let the body out of its length.

OTHER side of extension, dissimilar then last pattern it shows‌

FRONT

BACK

PRINTED jeans or pants, left is font, right is back side, but the pocket can be changed in solid similar color matching with same tone.

WHAT I did for this pattern, was trying to rotate the direction than others, having another the coordination of symmetry.

CONTINUOUSLY last one resulting, related to kaleidoscope idea was showed up again in my head, I was doing experiment to connect the same and opposite, vertical and horizontal, to see how it can be. Then, here it go, the other fantasy appearing. It also looks like a bit Chinese ancient style in Blue, White, and little purple color combination.

DOES it would looks better without the circle in the pattern? I prefer to keep the shape of diamond in the centre and Jaba flower elements surrounded‌ It was other sides of pattern putting together to have this four small pattern on each corners.

I LIKE this resulting of experiment.

Maybe it looks wider in the middle of section, quite darker, occupied 1/3 of the whole pattern. Not sure it can be used in any piece of clothing‌

ARRANGEMENT on part of top, sleeves, collar 0r front ? It seems should keep the original or maybe do compress the size to another new form?

ANOTHER one as similar as last pattern, it showed opposite direction than other, but it maybe not decent one to developing‌?!

I HAVE tried to put on all pattern into the Top, but it doesn’t looked well as I finished this one on right. – I decided to used the half of pattern for the front of t-shirt. It included the color chips for mainly color palette of the theme.

THIS is over five times distorted the original pattern. I was think about how it will be looks like when doing the some repeating in different ways. Seems it has useful effect with polar coordinate to rectangular, to changed usually form we used to though about it.

LONG dress design with this pattern, I trying to arrange it in the position which I like it to be. However, sometimes it needs to rotate or size compress or other methods to give it a best way to present how my concept.

OTHER EFFECT, I prefer last similar one as its effect‌ All

the

photos

resolution

is

72

pixel/inch.

Dimension of width of each photos are 1800 pixel & Height 2600 pixel.

IT’S different transforming presentation from one of photo to pattern design, I was inspired

by Greece designer Mary Katrantzou & French designer Agnès b. to think about how to print the any pattern on fabric for garment which have been designed by photography, then using the Photoshop to create new pattern.

PREMIERE transforming with polar distort.

ANOTHER color Hue testing with same photo to see how it can be in other looks.

ORIGINAL flower form & color it have. Let me to do with it and how to make a option in lots of photos I took - I would see all the photos in one album or my collections before started, then I think about it again and again, which one is better to developed, and re-designed. Those of consideration, such as direction, Color palette, proportion, position‌ etc
