Final processed image.

Algorithm

1- Square divided into 4 equal quarters.

2- A full circle drawn in each quarter to touch all 4 sides.

3- Pattern copied and rotated 5 degrees anti-clockwise from the midpoint of the bottom left circle.

4- Pattern englared 5%.

5- Repeat steps 3 and 4 creating a new pattern each time.

Final Pattern

This is my final concept which i will use to make my pattern. Simple in shape using only 2 different shapes, but once this pattern is overlapped i believe it will create an effective pattern.

Development Images and Sketches

These development sketches show more in depth ideas of where i will overlap and add multiple sections to my pattern, i looked in to how the overlapped parts of my pattern would eventually lead to make a shape inside the pattern which is created.

Further research after concepts.

These images are further ideas and research into achieving the pattern i want. They are all very simple to a certain degree but have a similar aesthetic. I like the idea of having a design that holds multiple qualities, such as having more than one recognisable pattern. The staircase is an interesting concept as it is very basic if it is stripped down to its bare structure. 

The other patterns are also interesting as they create patterns inside the original shapes, which is what i hope to create in my final pattern.

Initial Drawings.

After experimenting with a few initial designs and patterns i have made a few interesting discoveries. The idea of having a spiral, or circular pattern to create a spiral would look effective in this task. Using a simple algorithm i would like to create a pattern which after being repeated various times makes multiple spirals.

Research into mathematical relationships.

I think it is important to think of all aspects of any design. I have found some images which help me understand how some of these patterns are formed. The 'Golden Ratio' is an interesting one for me as it almost holds a quality of pattern in itself, yet not being an intended pattern. The rules and structure within these images hold qualities in them which we are able to take into making our own patterns, and i think that is an important part to this project as we learn about algorithms and repetitive pattern.

Project 1 inspiration

For project one i decided to look into patterns which are repettitve in ways which create new shapes and forms after being altered various times. These images all show differences but the same basic qualities. I like the idea of having a circular pattern, which is shown in most of these images, and especially in the sunflower. The idea of this circular motion appeals to me as it is simple but effective in the way it is able to create a inner pattern, as shown in the images above.
