Geometric tiling

The last lectures on one of my modules have been less about actual graphics and communication strategies, but about mathematical aspects of geometry in the area of tilings, e.g. Islamic tiling patterns in architecture.


Since it is part of an assignment for this module to create my own tiling pattern- which will seamlessly cover a plane without gap or overlap- I started researching and looking at some patterns and shapes I find interesting.


The first is an example similar to the ones we were shown in our lecture, exploring the variety and possibilities of what shapes can be created from just a few simple 3, 4, 5, and 6 sided shapes.

Below is a more complex Islamic pattern, which creates complex looking shapes by merely overlapping and intertwining larger shapes. 

Above and below are some patterns I personally prefer for the warm colour palette  and varied shapes. I find especially the 3D-implying cubes fascinating and inspiring for my assignment pattern.

Berlin Photography

Similar to the photos I posted the other day, I also have a selection of  more stylistic and less saturated ones. Originally I took them to represent contrast in Berlin, so effectively they are also quite representative of the city.


The first two are my favourites, as they have a German sense or firmness and determination about them.

Early stage of a flyer design I am working on for a successful Hip-Hop night in Leeds and am proud to be doing!

Thank you Ziggy!

Adding some Photography

Throughout my school and especially at University I have been taking more and more photographs, increasing and schooling my visual awareness. Recently I rediscovered some old pictures I took in Berlin, which I find interesting for their linear values and shapes. So I am making this post a slightly architectural one:

                                     

...and this latter one being one of my favourites.
