Creating unique pattern designs with a sunflower inspiration

Abstract

The purpose of this study is about creating unique pattern designs. The idea was to present the final pattern designs on baby night wear textiles. The patterns are designed with inspiration from a sunflower. The report consisted of the following stages; theory, design experimentation, quantitative research, final product samples and discussion. Before the design process, theoretical knowledge of textile design was gained, and pattern categorizations, sunflower inspirational sources, elements and principals of design were considered. The next step was an experimental design process to design several pattern samples from the various parts of a sunflower. In the end three of the patterns were selected for further research. An offline research among the students of MTSIFA specifically the textile students as a quantitative research method was designed to investigate the market demand and find which pattern was the most popular one. The outcome of the project is a range of baby night wear textiles designed with the pattern which was selected through the questionnaire. The results of the survey proved the pattern with the disc florets was the most popular. Therefore, a range of baby night wear textile products were designed to present the layout and appearance of this pattern on certain products. Later several 3D samples of the products were attached in the book.
