In my travels

Since I've been taking these graphic design classes I find myself seeing patterns and designs and fonts based on art movements we have been studying. They really are everywhere and i always try to stop and take pictures to put up.

 I spent a little time in Men's Warehouse the other day. I was killing time so I started looking at the selection of shirts and ties and realized that the patterns and designs were things that i recognized. On the left is the back of a shirt that uses a series of free flowing curvilinear lines
in an art nouveau style.

On the right is another shirt with the pattern on the front. This "S" and "C" curve ornament is in a French rococo style.

Here are a few more patterns i found on ties and handkerchiefs. 

A  Paisley pattern.
Paisley or Paisley pattern is a droplet-shaped vegetable motif of Indian, Pakistani and Persian origin. The pattern is sometimes called "Persian pickles" by American traditionalists, especially quiltmakers or "Welsh pears" in Welsh textiles as far back as 1888.









Just a few more simple grid based patterns.
