The client brief was to create a repeating floral print that would be printed onto fabric in two colourways. The key words were vintage, watercolour, rich and dense. The florals should have a pleasing colour palette that would work on a teal ground.
So first, I drew individual floral elements.
Then the individual elements were combined to form larger floral bunches.. Areas were filled in with more illustration as needed.
To create the seamless tile, first the elements were arranged so that the ratio of background to foreground or the spacing between florals (where you can see the background) are somewhat even all throughout. Where there are bigger ‘holes’, I drew in more foliage or sprays of tiny flowers. I also had to be careful that the colours are spread out evenly. Large groups of strong colours can jump out too much from the rest of the foliage.
before- too crowded, colours aren’t evenly distributed
after- white spaces look more even, overall just looks better
The after pattern was tweaked even further to add more foliage where there is too much background. The florals are also distributed more evenly. The right pattern is the final accepted design, on white and teal grounds.
