Wallpaper 2 development

I felt it was appropriate at this point to experiment with the more abstract shapes which still reflected the paisley designs. I started this off in a very similar way to the earlier patterns, I used the new shape and followed the traditional paisley design. This looks much more contemporary and random than the previous style. I think in some ways this works much better because of the contemporary feel, it will appeal to a wider audience.

Moving on from the traditional paisley style I looked at some repeat patterns to see how the new contemporary look would work in comparison to the previous patterns. The below design doesn't work very well, the singular shapes remind me of prawns I think this is probably because they site alone next to white space, so I am going to develop this without so much white space.

As well as reducing the white space, I have also enlarged the shapes as the above ones were too small. This works much better than the original design, I think it helps that the shapes weave out of one another. However I do at this pint feel the top design is the strongest for this set of patterns. On the publication side of things, I do feel that the earlier design are much stronger for my brief than these.
