Introducing Ouch!

Looking for an ultra-simple pattern design. I created a two colour design based on two pointed triangles. The points look like cactus spines so the name Ouch! seemed a fun choice.

Origins of Ouch!

I had been working on a diamond pattern. Part way through, I created the pointed orange design shown here. It has a vibe of the Festival of Britain, but not quite what I was looking for.

Rotating the Design

I found by rotating the design by 90° the design had more movement. Hiding some of the layers I found the minimalist design I was looking for. It has a simple “spike” and its shadow.
