City Map Pattern


Using different concepts of Japanese art and design, I included them all into the landscape of a map representing one of the smaller Japanese cities.  Using the same color and slight blending it is hard to notice the different pattern twined within the image, but that was my intention was to make it look as a whole when it is really just bits and pieces of images thrown together. Using elements such as waves, koi, wind, trees, cherry blossoms and a rising sun I was presenting the art of nature intwined with that of what human kind has created.

  1. I really like the idea and the use of colors. It is clean and look great. Although I'm not sure 30 patterns were used here.

  3. i like the subtlety of this one. the light greens and purples are very pleasing to the eye. i like the fish and the rising sun in the background.

  4. I like the repeating theme of the waves. Also the rising sun, it's subtle yet effective. I think I'd like to see the roads on the map end at the border because the map seems disconnected. Nice color choice.
