In this assignment I decided to look for patters that I see everyday but don't honestly really look at;  in visualizing them in a different way I found them a lot more interesting and realized that the patterns I take for granted were designed for a specific purpose.

The ugliest carpet I have ever seen, on our common room floor.  It is hard and rough and I feel that it was chosen to serve as the similar floor pattern on my floor for its cheap and easy production.

A flannel shirt that I sometimes wear.  Looking closer I can really get a sense of all the different stitches and colors that serve within the full visual.

The generic floor looks almost attractive when seen this way.  Viewing it close up makes me visualize it in a whole new way rather than just as the hard white tile that I walk on everyday.

My snuggie: a simply meaningless pattern that encompases the blanket seems to be a lot less complicated than I think it really is (or I could be totally wrong)

I had never really appreciated the precise pattern that went into my laundry basket.  The accuracy makes it interesting to look at and makes me want to find out more about how it was made.

What can be more simple than a sheet?  However, someone took the time to come up with a pattern that emits attractiveness along with a sense of security and comfort.

This wall has perhaps the most uncomfortable texture in the room.  When whomever designed this started their project, I wonder what made them decide to use scratchy beige squares.

This is one of my rain boots.  I feel that the pattern here serves no other purpose than to make the shoe better to look at, but in that sense it sold the shoe; well done, designer.

This bag has a shiny, smooth texture.  The pattern on it, I feel, almost shows me the texture of the bag, even if I couldn't feel it.  The circles simply create a look of smoothness and ease.

The ceiling pattern of my room does itself justice.  It looks just as bland and mundane in person as it does in a photograph.  However, someone did put thought into making it look the way it does, maybe for reasons of comfort and security.
