Print Trends - Geometry.

 Geometrical shapes and colourful triangles are a current trend in both fashion and home. I found these interesting images of geometrical shapes and patterns on 'Pinterest'.



I found this image (above) the most interesting of all as it is structure rather than a painting or a print. It would've been built this way for a purpose rather than a trend and I think it is very creative of the photographer to take the photo from this perspective.




I found that geometrical prints often involve triangles. However, they also include shapes such as hexagons and rectangles which are made up of, or broken down into, triangles. They are often very colourful prints and often include the primary colours: red, yellow and blue.

I found this sample below from a company called 'Design des Troy'. I like how the shapes are made up of lines which intertwine to make a cross-hatch and blend the colours. - http://design.des-troy.com/



These wallpaper print and cushion designs are the creations of MiniModerns. http://www.minimoderns.com/
They are slightly different to the other geometric designs as they are a much more neutral tone with a dash of colour. However, the way they use one idea and come up with an array of designs to produce plates, cups, wallpaper, cushions and more is genius.


This pattern is the work of KayaJoy.  Her work can be seen here - http://www.spoonflower.com/profiles/kayajoy
