Every designer should have his own sources of different things. Also I think that every designer should have source of patterns.
Patterns give inspiration, you can add it anywhere and the right pattern can make your design better or worse. Even if it's a decorative part of design, you should have at least a little book of patterns. Or start collecting everything by yourself, that would be even better. You may have natural patterns, or create new by yourself.
But if talking about this book – it's great. Patterns that I've seen in it are really different and inspirational. I would really advice everyone to have it. This book is a really good source.
I suppose, it would be helpful to know what patterns were the first and how they have changed now, is this information in the book? And, of course, how can we apply pattern to Product Design. Only as upholstery or it can be an inspiration?
ОтветитьУдалитьThis patterns might be great in terms of graphic design But i suppose that a good pattern must contribute the objects meaning, reveal its cultural belonging or at least be based on the objects appearance. A good pattern must have a source of inspiration of any sort and therefore i do not suppose that an ornament borrowed from such book could suit the idea of your design.
