Sailboats on the waters
Squeeze a pumpkin seed
between thumb and Forefinger – Away goes the pumpkin seed
The analogy above explains how sailboats sail into the wind. The pressure of water on the side of the keel and the wind on the sails drive a boat forward.
The aspect of wind blowing angular to triangular sails and the movement of wind channeling through the jib causes lower pressure on the mainsail and thus with less resistance and the boat surges forward.
Notice the design on the right and the pumpkin seed-like shape that resulted as I played with layers of patterns. A perfect example of the unknown resulting in the play of layers using photo software. Design is a fun job. Good design takes time, patience, and persistence.
I was walking by an abandoned construction site and came across a stack of tile brick. With the click of a shutter and cropping what should appear, but a pattern pleasing.
