Petits patterns

I'm in no way an expert on graphic design or even design in general. The closest I ever got to designing a product was making a chair back when I was 16. To be fair, it was a damn good chair with a damn good design, but I'm not going into details here. But when it comes to graphics, patterns, colour combinations I know what I like and I know what makes the level of electrical activity in my brain increase. I know what looks good, I know what looks bad. Basically, I would like to think I have a certain amount of taste. I browse around in magma...I have taste! :)

Yeah, so back to the actual point of this post and this is to let you know about an excellent blog all about patterns and print. There's everything you've ever wanted to know and you can scroll for literally hours through all the lovely colours and ideas.

For pages and pages of inspiration I highly recommend these books all about pattern. There's a whole series of books inspired by different themes from Scandinavia to dots and stripes. Each page is dedicated to one pattern and it's all just a big party of colour and wonderment. They are available in Magma or on Amazon, but unfortunately they are a little pricey as they come all the way from Japan.
