Textile design

I submitted my pattern design to 'spoon flower', and this company printed out my textile design on linen-cotton fabric. I wish I would have been change the size of the pattern module. The color was different than what I expected. For future design work, I will order the sample fabirc first then, make my final decision on it.

Textile Pattern Design

This textile pattern is designed in order to represent my personal ethic background, Korea. Overall, I wanted to emphasize Korean traditional art which consists of continuous repetition of arrangement with delineation. All the elements in this pattern contain a specific meaning. For example, the circle in the middle of the textile is from the Korean flag, symbolizing the tradition and history of Korea. In this design, I can observe the texture of the blue part. However, the texture of red part does not look as tough as I intended to.

In order to create this design, I worked on Auto Cad to outline the design. While I was working on Auto Cad, I did not expect to create curve lines for the flower design however, with many trials with tools (polyline, trim) I eventually created the outline of the flower. Then, I imported it into Photoshop (c3) for color rendering and added a texture into the design.

This design is aesthetically pleasing; however, the vivid colors of the pattern become a distraction of the design of the pattern. It shows that I need to study more about color because for my future design projects, I want to use bold colors yet, aesthetically pleasing for clients.
