From Petal to Pattern: Design your own floral patterns. Draw on nature.

Ansprechend gestaltetes Buch, voller Inhalt, Mehrwert, schöner Beispiele, angenehm getextet. Ich liebe es einfach und nehme es gern in die Hand. Obwohl ich selbst einen völlig anderen Stil habe (weniger blumig ;), mag ich ihre Floral Patterns sehr. Es könnte ruhig weitere Bücher von dieser Autorin geben. Als Patterndesignerin kann ich nicht genug Inspiration tanken und natürlich genieße ich auch einfach nur die schönen Patterns. :) Fazit: empfehlenswert.

Really lovely book that takes you through some of the background of different patterns and how you might go about constructing each.

Mi piace molto. Anche se è in inglese è comprensibile e spiega in modo chiaro come creare dei bei pattern floreali partendo da elementi anche minimali. Mi piace molto anche la scelta della carta opaca che fa risaltare i colori e non stanca gli occhi. Consigliato a chi si approccia al mondo dei pattern!

This book is fantastic! Parascandalo starts with commonly used tools for creating patterns in analog format, and includes information about converting them to digital. Patterns are separated into different types, with 4 examples of each type, information about that type of pattern, and then the step-by-step guide for creating your own. I love that each guide includes a breakdown of the types of flowers she's using to create her pattern, as well as tips for steps where people may struggle. The book is well written, clearly organized, and the full-color examples are actually helpful in seeing how the different patterns are laid out.

Just what I was looking for. This is an easy to follow book with great examples and projects with clear instructions. Beautiful bright inspiring pictures of all sorts of pattern types with details on how to create each one. Motivated me to create more of my own style easily in Photoshop.
