Complex and elegant or simple and bold - what's your favorite type of pattern?
First, the "fancy": Pattern Leela
Why it's "fancy": From a distance, it looks like lace, with its thin lines and curls.
Why it's great: Up close, it's interesting to note that some loops touch each other while others leave a small buffer of white negative space in between.
And now, the "funky": Pattern Avery
Why it's "funky": Simple, bold, and modern, this pattern takes simple ellipsoid shapes, radiates them out to create a "racetrack" feel, and then alternates vertical and horizontal orientation to create unexpected repetition.
Why it's great: I love the fun shapes created from the negative space between each square of four "racetracks" - it's like a tilted white square that's being pinched in a little on all four sides!
