For our first week in Fashion we had to decided on a theme for our pattern project. After taking many research images i decided to use the photographs of broken windows I found. I liked that the pattern created was random and unique. I found many of the repeat or uniform patterns werent interesting to work with.

We then began to use various mark making tecniques to recreate our pattens but in a more simplified way. This way we were able to turn our images into basic prints. I decided to concentrate on one image which I found the most interesting.

I really liked this image I like the spiderweb effect of the cracks and the way they radiate outwards from the point of impact. I wanted to recreate this in me pattern design.

These atre some of the mark making tecniques I used,

I really liked some of the results of the mark making. I decided to make stencils from some of the more intricate designs I made so i could dye or paint the pattern onto the fabric.
