For this assignment, the goal was to make a textile out of the module and pattern I had created. I took the pattern and repeated it in InDesign to create a block of structured gridded lines and organic curving figures. I was then able to tweak the pattern so that the lines and figures lined up with one another. I then uploaded the InDesign document to a fabric printing company called Spoonflower.com, who would print my design on a 36” x 36” piece of cotton fabric. About two weeks later I received my textile. I believe that the time and effort I put into manipulating my pattern so that everything lined up correctly paid off. When looking at my textile, I am able to see the design as a whole and not as individual squares put together. If I was able to do this again, I would have chosen a different fabric. My original thoughts were to have the surface be somewhat shinny and have the organic curved figure be metallic in order to represent a metal characteristic that I used in my concept model.
