-Reflection of first project-
I like how I have kept my aim of a 'sophisticated' design and made the design something that people could possibly want to use as wallpaper for a room. I feel that the wallpaper would be well suited in the place I designed it for (first year design studio) as it is not crazy busy to look at but a calm and relaxed pattern.

Goals for next project-
Perhaps do something completely different, create something that is out there and intense but still keep the visually appealing aspects of the design.
-Final wallpapers-







I am very happy with the final outcome of the design and I have completed my goals for the project.
-The wallpaper has a sophisticated look to it, which is what I set out to achieve.
-The panels obviously flow together with the way the triangles swarm and become bigger.
-I figured out in processing how to create the darker colour when the triangles overlap.
-Every one of the triangles are a different size, in processing I discovered how to create many random triangles with a small amount of code but I was unable to figure out how to create random triangles in a diagonal strip. I will look into this for later in the year.
-In the end I think that I know processing enough to create interesting patterns, although very little of my work had multiple lines and shapes other than triangles, I do know how to create them on code.

These are the final designs finished on processing. I am very happy with the way they have turned out. The colours are effective and the overall design gives a wavy/flowing feeling which was what I was aiming for.
This is a mid-way through photo of the designs, I have decided to see what a change in transparency of the colours across the panels looks like a i am happy with the outcome. It gives the deisgn something more.

I came across some difficulties with connecting the triangles between panels. I figured it out with trial and error but also started the starting point with the negative of the first triangle. That helped to get the ruff position and from there I got the correct points.

This is an attempt at the first panel with colour.



I feel that the colours are great but that the blue could be a slightly stronger/darker.
the triangle sizes are the rigth size for the first board.
