Textile Design

As part of the design process for the art hotel I am designing, I created a book of textile patterns from four original parti drawings based of of a train station ceiling in Melbourne, Australia. The ceiling curves and folds in a really interesting way, and I wanted to show the curves in the textile pattern I made. These are the four different patterns I came up with to represent the train station, and I think they turned out well. They are all very different, but share similar attributes, such as curving lines. I incorporated four different color schemes into each pattern to get a better idea/understanding of how the values and color contstats would work together when turned into an actual fabric. Now that I am looking at them again, I see that I would have really liked to eliminate the straight lines where the repeating patterns come together in order to create a better "flow", but overall I am pleased with the outcome.
