The principle

Repetition creates pattern, rhythm and unity. A single element repeated many times becomes texture; repeated with variation, it becomes a story. The moment one repetition breaks the pattern — a different colour, rotation or size — it becomes the focal point.

Objective. Use repetition to create pattern and a single deliberate break.

The brief

Design a poster for a textile exhibition using one shape repeated at least twenty times.

Constraints

  • One shape, repeated at least 20 times
  • Exactly one repetition must break the pattern
  • Maximum three colours

You're done when

  • A clear repeated pattern
  • One deliberate, meaningful break
  • Readable event information

Stretch goal

Make the repetition gradually transform from one shape into another.
