ALPHABET PATTERNS

A collection I designed of retro inspired risoprinted patterns. I designed these because I always loved retro clothing and the colourful patterns those vintage fabrics often have. These patterns also based on typography and part of a whole alphabet of patterns, the ones here are the ones that made it to print. I love designing patterns and while I made these while I was still studying at Artez in Zwolle, I still often make new, funky and colorful patterns. The next step will be clothing! :)
