Why:
The creation and design of patterns in the visual world may be essential in the creation of meaning and memory. As a designer you may create elements or specify elements in repeat, or patterned layout. Carpet, fabrics, upholsteries, and wall paper, are typical examples of the design and use of repeat printed and woven patterns in the interior environment. Surface pattern designers (printed world), and textile designers (woven world) are related design professions to interior design. This exercise is created to allow you to experience the process of making a basic repeat pattern related directly to creating visual meaning to your studio project.
