oriental pattern

Posted by Colin Bland on September 17, 2009 at 7:40 pm

Hi hope soemone can help with this one

Have a client who wants to give me an order for a job
but we cant finalise a design.

She has told me this evening that she wants something with an oriental theme.

Now this is for a hairdresser so dragons etc out of the window – I was thinking more like repeat pattern bamboo or lotus flower designs that I could drop into the background of frosted windows etc

Does anyone have any files like this that I could crib from

any help much appreciated

thanks

My thoughts here were for a Geisha Girl Bob haircut type of image.

A quick google image search produces lots of results. How about vectorising and editing this to suit:-

Well it’s Oriental, Hairdressy and I happen to like it 😮

I have a few of these books. This book has some great patterns in it,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chinese-Pattern … 321&sr=8-1

and so does the japanese version. Many in two tone as i remember.

They come with all of the patterns as jpg. images on a cd. So you may have to vectorize them if you need them that way.

Hi Colin

Sorry I didn’t post up on Friday, but we had a break-in at the pub in the early hours of Friday am, so most of the day was spent with the police 😥

Anyway, this is what I did in gold etch, idea inspired by their ‘paisley’ style wallpaper. Total pig to fit, luckily all turned out OK in the end!
