patterns

I ended with a series of three layers of the same pattern.  Each layer is twice the size of the one underneath. This is meant to emphasize the relationship between the stem thicknesses of this typeface.  I chose to create a pattern that was dynamic, incorporating both straight lines, clear diagonals, as well as curves that all interact. The bar of the blown up bold pattern in the center is intended to attract viewers to see more clearly the finite details of the pattern connections.


In this board, I wanted to contrast the horizontality of the previous board. I realized that my analysis was more about the vertical alignment of the characters. I hoped to establish the concept that two of one element fit into the next. The vertical bars are identifying the width of the characters in each layer of the pattern.
