This is the wallpaper that I created for this week’s assignment. After looking through some examples, I decided that I just wanted to experiment with what I knew about loops and shapes and see what I could make. I drew all of my shapes in Adobe Illustrator first to understand where I wanted everything to be placed, and to also choose colors. I found this project to be really fun, especially when I expand the canvas and get to see the design on a larger scale. I could definitely see myself doing something similar to this project again in the future to make fun patterns and textures.
