Product Description Pattern can be derived from many sources if we remember to look closely. While patterns have been around forever there's a recent movement a tendency among designers to allow patterns to animate their work with colorful and exuberant complexity. Over and Over: A Catalog of Hand-Drawn Patterns collects groundbreaking work from fifty of today's most talented designers who create patterns by hand and use them in their work in inventive and innovative ways. From Deanne Cheuk's patterns that adorn current fashion to those of Robin Cameron that explore her interest in art to Garrett Morin's patterns that arose from an exercise for a character called Eloie the examples in this book push the boundaries of the traditional concept of what a pattern is. The selected works are often not an end result but the beginning of something else of something bigger and broader. While the computer is sometimes involved in the production of patterns the hand-drawn element is always evident in the uniqueness of these works. Featuring more than 250 vibrant and exciting patterns Over and Over explores this magic on every single page and will inspire designers everywhere.
