Going into the photo assignment, I did not have a plan. I just wanted to get 100 images of things I thought were interesting/aesthetically pleasing to me in some way. Then going back over the images to choose 20 for the board, I found that over half of the pictures I took included circles. I decided to use the circles, either whole or abstracted, large or small, as the connecting theme.
The images I used as a source for the patterns were not images I used on the photo board. They were two of my favorite pictures taken, but did not fit into the circle theme I was rocking for the board. The top pattern was a photo of a street corner. I loved the perspective I got from the image, and it translated very well to a one point perspective line drawing. Turning it into a pattern was very simple. I just repeated it and rotated the squares in the same way to create a chaotic and rhythmic pattern.
The bottom pattern was an image of the ceiling in the McGregor Memorial Center on campus. I love the geometry and strictly regimented pattern that arises from it. I tried to stay true to that to make it my own pattern. Keeping it geometric and regimented creates secondary patterns that I really enjoy.
