Abstract Radial Symmetry Design Project
For my mandalas, I drew inspiration from various contemporary products such as Urban Outfitters’s vintage tapestries. I’ve always found their intricate patterns to be very pleasing and mesmerizing to look at, so I was very excited to learn the necessary Adobe Illustrator tools to try to mimic the delicate quality in my own pieces.
Since Valentine’s Day is approaching, I started off by attempting to make a series of Valentine’s card covers before deciding to abandon the girlie pinkness and throwing in more dark backgrounds and colors after a few. I wanted to add more color into my illustrations and I found that laying them over the pink backgrounds just made the pieces look tacky and chaotic. Thus, I decided to just keep the theme of having water-color backgrounds.
