I decided to base my wallpaper on my current favourite fruit, the kiwi. I wanted to incorporate more playful colors as well as a dreamier caption, since it is turning cold in Pittsburgh and I miss warm weather. I was inspired by a cherry printed shirt I came across when I was online shopping, and numerous fruit illustrations I found on Pinterest (such as this pomegranate one). Overall, it was really fun playing with symmetry and pattern, and I would like to continue this project to perhaps feature alternating sliced and whole kiwis.
