From houndstooth, to trippy stereograms, to lots of colorful dinosaurs, patterns are timeless and come in all shapes and sizes…literally. But at the end of the day, you can’t go wrong with classic patterns. That was the idea behind our Traditional Patterns challenge – to bring a traditional pattern to life in a non-traditional way! And Ibrahim H (moibhus_13) did just that with his winning “Abstract Chevron Pattern” design.
We talked to Ibrahim about the art scene in Malaysia where he’s from and his very first winning design. Check out what he had to say below!
