My first pattern came from the idea of a Rubik’s cube. I was actually playing around with one when I thought of the cool pattern it could make. I created one Rubik’s cube from scratch in Photoshop. I started with a regular hexagon shape and created the 3d cube look so that they would all interlock with each other. I find it interesting how you can see a variety of different patterns depending on where you focus. Whether you focus on the regular cube, the upside down cube created in between these cubes, or even the diamonds created for each side.
My next pattern is an animal pattern, inspired by my pet turtle. I took a photograph of him from my phone and used the various selection tools we learned about to crop him out and make a pattern. I created the water-like background with a texture to get the feeling of movement, and because turtles like water. I also utilized half drop repeats as well as reflections to make the pattern slightly more interesting.
I love the optical illusion created by your Rubik’s cube pattern. Interestingly enough, even with the different patterns that can be seen in the image, I tend to view the yellow sides as the top of the Rubik’s cube, even if I look at the image upside-down.
I really like the optical illusion created by the first pattern. I see this as something that someone would actually use for something practical, which is very cool.
The repetition in the first pattern creates a nice visual effect sort of like an optical illusion that works really well. Also the seamless tiling of it is really nice.
The optical illusion created by your rubiks cube design is very interesting. Also, the colors complement each other really well to create the optical illusion. I’m wondering what would happen if you tilted it so that the lines matched up with the sides of the picture.
The first pattern is really interesting in the fact that I can seem to look at it from the left side, right side, then from the top. A cool trick is to just stare directly at one of the sides and everything will fade out of focus and you will just see diamonds instead of a 3d shape. I like the color palette of the background on the second pattern but maybe you could have had some objets connecting from tile to tile to create a cool effect.
I know others have said this but, I love how in the first pattern, the different colored faces seem to make cubes.
I like the fitting background in the second pattern to match the turtles with an ocean background. It sets a calming theme and makes a good pattern.
