Want Some Stationary?

The other day when Brooks was out, I decided to play around with my plate design.

I was looking through the templates available on Adobe Illustrator, and found a stationary set.

I took my plate design and created a new border and other design pattern for my stationary and applied them.

This is what happened:

Invitation Envelope

Compliment Slip

Letterhead

Invitation

Envelope

I am happy I created these parts, I liked playing with how it would look and it all going well together.
It took some time but I am happy I did it.

Anything Can Happen

With this painting I created, I could do many things with it. One would be creating a design from it. I am not saying that I will, but I just wanted to portray that anything is possible with a piece of art, and completely turning it around and making a pattern/design.

 

A watercolor painting I made over the summer at my FIT class.

A pattern from the "Aesthetic and Arts and Crafts" section of the book Textile Designs.

The pattern above is something someone else created that I think is a possibility for me. I could make a pattern like this one, but with the inspiration from the painting I made.

Another Coincidence

After I created these flower like items in my pattern and art project:





I came across a pattern that had a similar item within it.:

It made me realize once again that a lot of people have the same idea, but they are all different because of the execution, mediums used, colors involved and so on.

I also found this doodle I created in the beginning of last July:

And while looking through Textile Designs I found a coincidental pattern that looks similar.
