Although I made a repeating pattern by following the project guideline, my wallpaper resembles the naturally occurring pattern of strawberry achenes. While maintaining the characteristics of the fruit, I used multiple geometric shapes to add small details, such as subtle highlights and shadows. For future projects, I would love to experiment with creating not only repeating patterns, but also textures and dimensions that further enhance the quality of my work.
