Patterns, Patterns, Patterns...

Out initial task was to find 5 heterogeneous + homogeneous patterns. This was more difficult than i thought as i don't think i properly understood the concept of what a heterogenous pattern was.

However, since the first pin-up in which we discussed the patterns further i should realised that a heterogeneous pattern could very simply be made by changing a particular generative element or rule within an original pattern.

The next task was to focus on a pattern and develop this further by looking at the production rules more closely then producing 5 iterations of our own.

My pattern was fundamentally geometric and consisted of a series of squares. I looked at the squares in several ways. One was as a complete component of 6 squares that rotated 360° and each square is rotated off a central point and also positioned off the centre edges of each and every square,which creates an homogeneous pattern. (above pattern)

I then looked more closely at this component of 6 squares. As a set of threes that were hen mirrored which created a module of 6 squares that again rotated around a centre point.

Generating different production rules became a tricky task, as all i seemed to be creating was different homogeneous patterns, below;
