In response to the theme of Rules and Forces, I produced a series of patterns on cotton bags by using Photoshop. Before the design process, I was limited to three rules: 1. Make everything in inverted colour, then swap them at the end. 2. Must start from a taken image from real life. 3. The output should be printed on something. By inverting colours of pictures that I took, I can observe them in a completely different and strange way, and sometimes details of the picture will be enlarged. This can give me new inspiration comparing to the normal images. After adding new things, transforms or modified I created novel and funny patterns for bags. Similar work has been produced by Aditya Aryanto, whose work ditPict $? explores this them by adding a strip to an image of a cat to show a humorous sense.
