Pattern Making
[ 2024 ]
Historical Ornamentation / Pattern 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.

< 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.

< Developed ornaments set based on Medieval, Greek, Psychedelic Art Nouveau, Rococo, and Indian > After researching five historical patterns, inspired by five pattern styles,
I designed five additional ornaments that maintain the form of a Lobelia.

< Final Patterns >
Using the final ornaments, I created five unique patterns—each reflecting
the visual language of its style while staying rooted in the original flower.

Using the final patterns, I used my favourite Medieval pattern into a dagger box package.
