Final patterns

These are the final patterns, made with ink and scanned into photoshop, that I have created to go above each image (on a double page spread). When creating each pattern I thought about how they could reflect or add to the narrative of the illustrations they were to be paired with - for example the pattern above is going to be paired with an illustration about how ravens can be known as the reincarnated beings of murdered people, I therefore used a circular pattern for this to reflect the ideas of reincarnation (obviously being cyclical itself). I think this consideration of how my ideas could be illustrated in these patterns has worked really well, and will work nicely along with the narratives of my book.
