More detailed final design developments...

This full design was shaped by creating a smaller repeat using a variety of different brushes that I had previously made using other designs. I had intentionally made this design for a background but it looks just as good placed on its own. All of these layers have a side by side repeat and vary in shades of green. Having an opaque pattern as the background brings out the darker pattern on top. Adding another design on top of this, using a darker green or sticking with black would really portray that pattern. I tried this out and the design below is the outcome.

This half drop repeat below is another one of my favourites and could potentially be my final design. It is a half drop repeat that contains a number of different motif designs layered upon one another. The layers can be differentiated through the colour palette. The design motif in white works exceptionally well against the green solid coloured background, as well as on top of a darker design motif.

I wanted to create at least one subtle pattern that looked delicate and less detailed than all of the others and I think that this design below achieves it. The design is simple and holds no background other that white. The floral detail looks elegant with simplicity. The way that the different designs have been layered makes the design look like a fade out which works fittingly. This layout is very similar to the layout in the original Bradford design; it holds a prominent column in the middle that holds most of the detail and other columns that lead off the page. This is a delicate and simple design that would work especially well on silk curtains or a cheaper option of voile curtains.  

This idea could be my new final design as it looks exquisite.  The detail, the background and the colour palette all suit each other and placed together with different design works wonders.  The background pattern is in a side by side repeat that had a border design running through it. The middle and top layer are also side by side repeats. Sticking to using different shades of green was successful. All of the design motifs were found from the original Bradford design work, I think this design modernises the orignals.
