One of the places that I feel closest to nature is in Italy. The warmth from the sun, landscape and colours felt perfect for the brief.

​

After recalling familiar textures and materials, I used Adobe Photoshop to build up the colour blocks. Once completed, the names combined the pattern with calming scenes.

​

The patterns provide a peaceful, connected, modern feel inspired by a place with a lot of history. If I were to do it again, I would look at developing the candle holder to add further texture and interest when the candle was lit.
