Reflection
This pattern task I think it is very interesting. I try to used a lot of photoshop techniques, such as change color, combine images, liquefaction, zoom in, zoom out and so on. I also used “KaleidaCam” this app. It is very magical and interesting, because it could have a lot of change then could get various pattern with one same image.
According this task , I noticed photoshop is a very useful software, there are a lot of possibility with different function could do different thing, not just basic function to deal with image. It is also eminently suitable to design print patterns. Do different changes could get different effect, sometimes can get some surprise. And using photoshop to combine two images is also very interesting. The color could mix, the pattern could remix. The pattern could have more sense of layer. I think I need to learn more and try more about photoshop, there are a lot of potential need to be discovered.
According zoom in zoom out, I find a different way to observe life. Same thing with different angle to see will find some details before ignored. And cut drawing to small pieces then remix with other image is also a creativity way to design. The result is amazing give me surprise.
I need to try different material, media to design pattern. I think I am not experimental now. I need to do more adventure maybe will get more brilliant design and get some new inspirations.

I was pleasantly surprised by your pattern research, I really like the patterns you produce, which is really interesting because you use a lot of different software such as photoshop and KaleidaCam, and use different painting styles and transformations.
I like your first picture very much, you use high-contrast and high-brightness colors to make the style of the same picture very easy to change.
The patterns you make with KaleidaCam are also very rich and beautiful, which has inspired me a lot, and I will also apply this software to my pattern design.
The way you cut your paintings into regular-sized squares and re-stitch them is very creative, because we get that the patterns are randomly abstract, and different ways of combining them get different effects, but the structure of the original painting is disassembled and reassembled, which is a very clever change.
You chose a strawberry cake you painted as a base element to deoverlap and repeat, and made some liquefaction effects that I also found interesting, because this base element is very bright and detailed, so the final pattern effect is very good.
I also find it interesting that when you overlap colors to create a pattern repeatedly and then you add a linear pattern to make it blend, because it gives a good visual balance between the two styles, and the line drawing alone is particularly clear.
