Modern Patterns

Often hard to describe or quantify, the term 'modern' changes according to context or relationship. It is a sensibility that is recognized as being progressive or forward thinking for the time period in which it develops, pushing the limits of style. Nowhere is this as easily grasped as in the visual arts. In design, modern patterns are formed by geometric shapes, graphic figures, and abstract imagery; coming together in a deliberate formation of lines, colors, shapes, and symbols. The variations are as endless as their possible applications. Featuring hundreds of images of fresh, bold, and innovative pattern work, alongside photographs of their manifestations, such as: apparel, accessories, posters, wallpaper, and fabrics. Includes a CD-ROM that contains a large number of the pattern templates for reference.
