Paper illustrations

Even though I didn't want to make something like the paper designs for my final piece, I then decided to see what they would look like as illustrations. I thought If I transformed the designs into patterns it would help me discover what patterns I want to use further on in the project. One of the pieces I really like was the green coat. I like the idea of using a bright colour such as yellow for the pattern as it stands out against the darker colours that I want to use. However, this is not the only reason I like this part; I find the sharp, square shapes really add an art deco feel to the item and therefore my original style is noticed.
