MODERN PLAYING WITH PATTERN \\ LAURA HUDEC
GEOMETRY
INTRODUCTION These products have been designed to inspire. Not only are they simple, geometric patterns that have been refreshed in a modern way, but also they have been applied to products that I myself would buy and use every day. These patterns are all quite playful, bright, and use transparency to create new and exciting shapes and colors. These patterns were designed to be used and enjoyed by everyone. My inspiration came from the simplicity and versitality of geometric shapes. There are so many ways to combine them and layer them to make fascinating patterns. I wanted to put a new spin on some classic geometric designs and brighten them up with color palattes that bring out the best in each design. Working with color and pattern in this series has been extremely beneficial in my journey as a designer. Using CafePress.com and Zazzle.com, I created products using my patterns that are useful and unique. All products seen here are available for purchase in my CafePress store and my Zazzle store, ModGeo Graphics.

My name is Laura Hudec and I’m a Visual Communications Design student at Purdue University. I’m from Mt. Prospect, IL, a suburb of Chicago. I draw my inspiration from living things, especially animals and flowers. I also enjoy color theory and exploring unique color combinations. My favorite design tool is a pencil and paper. I’ve learned a lot about the development process in my classes at Purdue and the best way to start a design is to give it life with my hands. Designs are living things, just like horses and begonias. They need time, nurturing, patience, and a lot of hard work.

Geometric lines are set in contrast with semi-transparent, organic trees. The cool, earthy colors are soothing to look at and the trees provide a window to nature. The tote bag, mousepad, and pillow are perfect for this design because they show off the natural, simple feeling of the pattern. This design tessellates horizontally and vertically and would be great for a large item such as a shower curtain or a bedspread.

This fresh and frosty design gives the illusion of depth. Simple triangles make up a tessellating 3D design that plays with your eye. The color palatte for this design is made up of cool blues and purples in contrast with the usual scheme of hot, sandy desert colors. The tessellating pattern looks great on a large surface such as the laptop case. The water bottle adds illusion to the design because of its soft curve.
