Forgetmenot pattern

This project focused on creating a seamless repeating pattern inspired by real flowers. I used reference photos of flowers like forget-me-nots and other small blossoms to help guide the shapes and colors. Instead of creating a realistic illustration, I simplified the flowers into flat graphic shapes so the pattern would feel clean and modern. I chose a limited color palette of blues, yellows, and dark navy to create contrast and help the flowers stand out. The final pattern was designed to tile seamlessly, which means it can repeat endlessly without visible edges. This type of pattern could be used for things like fabric, wallpaper, or packaging.

About the Designer

Amylouise Smith

My name is AmyLouise Smith and I am a graphic design student with a strong interest in illustration and visual storytelling. I enjoy creating designs that are colorful, engaging, and concept driven. A lot of my work focuses on combining illustration with graphic design elements to create pieces that feel both creative and visually clear. When I start a project, I usually begin with sketches and research to explore different ideas before moving into digital design. I enjoy the process of experimenting with concepts and refining them until I find the direction that works best. Many of my projects are inspired by themes like nature, travel, and imagination, which often show up in my posters, patterns, and illustrated designs. I also like exploring different areas of design such as branding, poster design, and publication layout. Through these projects, I try to focus on creating work that communicates clearly while still feeling fun and visually interesting. As I continue studying graphic design, I hope to keep developing my illustration style, strengthen my design skills, and create work that connects with people.
