Stripes


I was delighted to read (once again, in Vogue magazine's May issue) that Breton fisherman's shirts (striped shirts) are "in" again. Years ago, I bought a nautical styled tee which I will enjoy wearing this summer.

The illustration (above) features several design principles -- harmony, repetition, contrast. My aim was to achieve repetition with variation, which, according to Maitland Graves (dec.) is called harmonic repetition and "used in all art forms to produce unity with interest."
