Symmetrical pattern
As an experiment, I decided to go deeper into pattern anatomy. I found some articles about the pattern creation and its varieties.Â
This article I found most helpful to understand the principles of pattern creation and its anatomy:

Previous patterns I created where non-symmetrical and I decided to make one which would have the symmetry and a bit of geometrical shape. The theme remained  the same - Autumn.
Halloween pattern
After completing the leaves pattern I decided to stick to the autumn theme. My next pattern item is Halloween pattern.
First of all, I did some research on which elements I would like to include to my design and then elaborate the choice.
Autumn leaves pattern
My first pattern item is live traced leave pattern.Â
I started up with gathering some leaves and let them dry on fresh air. Afterwards, I used them as a tool to do the prints of them which later on I would scan. After the scanning process, I discovered that the image is not convertible into vector even though I planned to do so. After some tries, I found the way to do it correctly. I had to live trace them twice and in between process the prints in Photoshop so that there won’t be a white background.
Pattern line project
For the past few weeks I’ve been practicing my drawing skills in Illustrator and further on pattern techniques.Â
First of all I draw a basic composition manually on paper and then transferred it to vector format so that I could adjust the layout for the pattern creation.
I was working on pattern technique called bounding box. You have to place all your elements of composition inside the bounding box. Some elements should cross pass with the border line of the bounding box so that the composition would repeat continuously outside of the box as well. I was following some tutorials for that:Â
Lynda.com - “Building your vector pattern with a bounding box”.

Project Patterns During the week I was doing some research about what type of flowers I’d like to use in the development of my pattern line. I made some sketches of different types of leaves and flowers and gathered some flowers and leaves to dry and use it for the future composition. As the next step I’m working on transferring one of my sketches into vector and use it as an example to practice with pattern technique production.
Project Patterns
Inspired by William Morris’ flower pattern paintings I decided to work on the development of the new print line for different types of products such as stationery, phone cases, wallpapers etc.Â
All the inspiration pictures and illustration I save to my boards on Pinterest. I’m trying to find trendy prints which are used nowadays for different types of products. There are not only flower theme patterns saved to my boards but also fruit, candy, leaves and others.Â
My main goal currently is to experiment with the craft material such as collecting leaves and dry them afterwards. Then I can use them to make prints on the paper with the leave shape, add more details in Illustrator and to see what works, looks the best.
