Wallpaper ideas :)

For the initial planning of my set of four wallpapers I thought about traditional wallpapers, and how broad the term “wallpaper” is. Examining the criteria, I decided to design my wallpapers around an idea that falls into a set of four.  I came up with; the seasons, suits of cards and the four elements.

Googleing these ideas I found the following images which I then used for inspiration.  

  

 I chose the four elements; earth, wind, fire and water as my main idea. I wanted to create something different, and aesthetically pleasing, so I continued researching the different design possibilities I could do. Wondering around my house I found my childhood spirograph kit, (which is a kit that allows u to create patterns drawn by revolving stencils) looking through, and googleing some images of spirograph’s I looked at the different forms that could be created using this simple method and decided to incorporate this into my wallpaper. Here are some images bellow :)

Examining the forms the spriographs create I found it simple to incorporate this design aspect into the idea of the four elements. I decided to use the different spirographs forms to represent what I believe would be the geometric forms of the elements. :)

using this theme i went on to create my sketches with my goal being to create a different, complex and interesting wallpaper
