Pattern Experiments

Having explored the original idea of creating an energy diagram I wanted to take it further and make it more pleasing to the eye. To start with I looked at using a die/dominoes style using dots.
I think this is a bit obvious and quite boring to look at as it's something you would expect and not particularly challenging in any way.
Using dots as a starting point I then went on to look at overlapping the shapes.
To do this effectively I decided to change the colours of the seperate shapes - mainly so that you can tell the difference between each circle. I was inspired by Philip K Dick book covers that use layering of circles to create images:
The examples above haven't taken this idea to the same place as the bookcover. However, it is something that I could explore further.
