With the Mexican bottle wrap I was thinking I could use the bright colours from the day of the dead festival to influence my patterns.
After researching into Mexico I began on Belize and found out about the ‘fiesta de carnaval’ which involves throwing paint and flour in a mix of colour. I could use the theme of festivals throughout my set of bottle wraps.
My next area of interest was Cost Rica, where I looked into the Limon festival, and into their culture which is heavily pattern based and vibrant and so will work in a cohesive set with the other areas I have chosen.
My final area of interest is the Dominican Republic, again it’s vibrant colours will work well with keeping my designs as a set, and will keep with my themes of culture.
