Pretty ♥ Pretty #14: Work Those Angles

This weeks Pretty Pretty set is your Geometry in Design 101 class! But it doesn't matter if you hate Maths (Kyla always laughs at me when I say Maths and not Math.... it's an NZ thing!) All you have to do is look at the pretty pictures, and if you want to go to the source page you can just click them :)


I loved hunting down these geometric designs, and I had to include the lovely Moorea's pretty jewelry- gold, triangles, chevrons.... LOVE!

I'm often attracted to soft, flowy, organic style design and illustration, but every now and then I see an amazing design full of angles and structure and graphic boldness, and I love it even better when softer images and tones are combined with geometric patterns. Like the diamond at the top with the textural brushwork, and the blocky triangles laid over the soft photographs. So effective and pretty.

Which were your faves?

P.S. Remember to email me if you want to do a Bite-Sized Interview for next Wednesday! I'm getting my second wisdom tooth out that day so will need some fun interviews to read through :)
