This is the second pattern that i done for my surface pattern project. i really like this one especially as i think its a bit different. i achieved this shape and colour scheme by taking a shape out of a bit of mixed media work i done by using the pen tool in photoshop. i then kept copying and pasting the same shape so i could form the on top of eachother slightly to form a row and then i made it into a repeating pattern.

This is the final piece of my surface pattern project that we have been doing at college. we had to create two surface patterns for a cover of a magazine in the style of whichever we chose out of urban, hi tech, nature and confectionary. i chose urban and as soon as i chose it i was thinking of things that i link with urban. my initial thoughts are city things, things to do with city life, so i took the stereotypical brick wall and blended it in with a black background by using the overlay tool on photoshop. i also needed something on top of this asa repeating pattern so i took the outline of some buildings that a took pictures of and i think i have achieved what a set out to do.
