Designing patterns: the biggest web trend of 2015 so far. 2015 has inherited a lot of trends from previous years, there’s been a steady evolution of ideas — Flat Design into Material Design for example — but nothing as revolutionary as Responsive Design.
However, we are starting to see trends that feel fresh, either through new treatments or because they’re genuinely new ways of approaching old problems. The most widespread of these so far, has been the use of patterns in web design. Patterns serve a variety of purposes, from communicating a brand value, to adding motion to an interface, to enlivening the simple blocks of color that flat design favors. And the use of patterns, although not scientifically categorizable, falls into one of five broad and inter-related categories… Generative patterns.
Les 25 ans du télescope Hubble en 25 images. Inside Insides. Carved Wood Panels with Lines Patterns. L’artiste hollandais John Franzen est l’auteur de tableaux abstraits avec des lignes ondulantes taillées sur des panneaux de bois. « Each Line, One Breath » est aussi disponible sur des panneaux de cuivre et des feuilles papier où chaque ligne est tracée en une respiration, en une fois, comme une allégorie de la répétition, la continuité et l’immortalité.
Brasília by Øystein Aspelund. Brasília is known far and wide for its unique urban planning by Lúcio Costa and, unsurprisingly, modernist architecture that comes along with it by Oscar Niemeyer.
Taking into account the particularities of Niemeyer’s buildings, such as explicit concrete structures, geometric sharp angles, surprising curves and the sheer large scale and amplitude of each creation. The often-considered futuristic designs are no strangers to coffee table photography books, so it’s refreshing to see a masterful take of Brasília’s iconic buildings with a minimalist and night-time twist. Norway-based photographer Øystein Aspelund visited the modern capital of Brazil and managed to capture a fascinating collection of unlikely portraits of famous buildings with great expertise in shadow play; whilst making very clear how grand the scale is, towering over the lone human figures. Hypnotic Kinetic Sculptures by Jennifer Townley Fuse Mathematics and Art. Although powered by simple rotary engines, these kinetic sculptures by Netherlands-based sculptor Jennifer Townley are dizzying in complexity.

P/D3 Glitch Collage Studies on Behance. Our burgeoning dependance on machine created perfection and instant digital communication is the starting point for Wayne Edson Bryan’s evocative compositions that explore our complex relationship with human fallibility and the arcane.
Favoring common office supplies over traditional fine arts materials, Bryan uses cut and pasted copier paper, ball point pens and self-adhesive vinyl letters to construct horror vacui collages reminiscent of the electronic glitch and signal loss static we occasionally experience, inadvertently create and wish to evolve beyond. The black and white images sourced from the internet that he painstakingly trims into strips and glues into patterns are created by or associated with computers as well as nano-technology, satellite imaging, physics, chemistry and molecular biology.

Well, Alana Dee Haynes took her fashion magazine doodles to a whole new level and turned them into real art.
I’m pretty obsessed with her tumblr.
