Using my initial prints I've attempted to make some patterns using photoshop, though this is the first time I have attempted patterns I wasn't really sure what I was doing. I looked up a few tutorials to get the hang of it. It took me a while to get the dispersion of the leaves right so there wasn't so much blank space.
I had had some feedback saying that my development work looked a bit feminine, but I didn't think it did, however when I started to make these patterns I thought they did start to look less neutral and more feminine. I tried adding blocks of black in to make the design more dynamic or strike a balance between masculine and feminine. I think the closest I got with the first lot of patterns was upping the contrast so the colours were more striking.
The bamboo pattern I think is more gender neutral, but I struggled to get it properly lined up. The colours really work, and I like the layered effect, but also wonder if this is too busy. If I were to continue with this I would probably have to re-make the whole thing because of the problems lining it up.
I think it's back to the drawing board this time.
