Pattern as subject
- A pattern can fill a shape, define a texture, or become the subject itself.
- Too much repetition feels monotonous.
- Variation keeps a pattern engaging rather than dull.
作为主题的图案
- 图案可以填充一个形状、定义一种肌理,或成为主题本身。

Adding variation to a pattern keeps it from becoming monotonous. · 在图案中添加变化可防止其变得单调。
Variation · 变异 keeps repetition interesting. · 变化 使重复保持趣味。
A pattern is more than random repeating — it has a predictable arrangement of a motif. But a perfectly uniform pattern can become monotonous; introducing variation (a change of scale, colour, or spacing) keeps it alive and interesting.
图案不只是随机重复——它有母题的可预测排列。但完全均匀的图案会变得单调;引入变化(尺度、颜色或间距的改变)让它有活力、有趣味。
A single leaf motif repeated in a grid makes a wallpaper pattern. Keep every leaf identical and it feels flat; let the leaves slowly change colour across the wall and the same pattern gains life through variation.
一个单独的叶子母题在网格中重复,构成壁纸图案。让每片叶子都相同,它显得平淡;让叶子在墙面上逐渐变色,同样的图案通过变化获得生命。
Repetition reuses an element; a pattern is a motif repeated in a predictable arrangement. Patterns can be regular or irregular, and can fill, texture, or be the subject. Variation keeps repetition from becoming monotonous.
重复重复使用一个元素;图案是以可预测方式排列的母题。图案可以规则或不规则,可以填充、做肌理或成为主题。变化使重复不至于单调。
