Ouch! Pattern Design
Ouch! In The Diamonds Collection
Ouch! is the second design in the Diamonds Collection. Starting with simple pointed shapes – see Pattern Development below.
Colour Combinations
I decided to reduce the number of colours to simplify the number of combinations. The shadow is a darker version of the background. So effectively the design is just two colours.
Pattern Development
This pattern has been quite fruitful, generating five successful designs…
- Festival where the elements of the diamond shape have a distinct 1950s vibe.
- Ouch! looked like the spines of a cactus spines.
- Isometric looked like schematic drawings of a building hence its name.
- Diamonds is that I had first envisaged when I called the series Diamonds.
- Duplex staggers the diamond shape filling the space more.
