Inspirational Patterns of the 50's...

Yesterday I thought I'd have a go at creating my own patterns. I haven't finished yet as I need to sit down and read through and watch some tutorials on how to make proper patterns in Illustrator. But I found loads of inspiration from Google Image search. I find myself drawn to 50's and 60's patterns mostly, but I wanted the patterns to have a touch of my style as well of course.

 So after browsing Google Image Search for about half an hour my head was filled with ideas. It is funny how much effort you can put into these seemingly simple designs. Sometimes I find it harder to keep it simple and I was exhausted mentally after drawing these.
 I think I came up with some cool original looking shapes though and can't wait to get started in Illustrator, which will be tomorrows job.
These patterns are for mobiLOVE, so you will see them on phone cases eventually. However if they come out nice I might make some new products out of the too. We'll see. Now I'm off to work! Have a great day all of you!
