Pattern Making

Historical Ornamentation Through a Single Motif.
This project explores how one motif can shift across cultures and histories through form and style. Also, the pattern-making process allowed me to deepen my understanding of visual hierarchy, which is a fundamental principle in design. The final patterns were implemented in packaging
design to explore their practical application.

Pattern Making Process

< Ornaments set inspired by Lobelia >
Began by researching historical patterns and chose one flower as my core motif.
Inspired by flower Lobelia, I designed a base set of ornamental elements.
