While roaming around Manhattan I often find many amazing colors and patterns. I've gotten into the habit of taking snapshots on my phone of these beautiful treasures. They inspire me in a multitude of ways... This brick pattern above for instance encompasses the most beautiful color scheme. The mustard-green tiles are chipped away to expose the purple beneath. To take it even further, age and nature have fostered the gorgeous blue on top. It's amazing what colors age and nature can present!
While this pattern lacks in color, the repetition of the arches caught my attention. Located downtown by ground zero, the passageway, through the use of light and shadow beautifully emphasizes the arches.
An art installation along the highline, each pane of glass shines an amazing and unique color. The color scheme is monochromatic but none the less still beautiful. I try to instill the same kind of restraint into my own designs.
I love stripes.
