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.
