The thesis addressed the development of original textile patterns based on natural textures and adapted for digital textile printing. The aim of the research was to explore the possibilities of transferring natural structures into the design process and to determine how natural elements influence the creation of patterns suitable for textile printing.
In the experimental part, various plant materials were used, and their structures were observed under a microscope. Visual elements were also obtained through plant pigment transfer, specifically using flower pounding and a graphic press. The design process included the digitization of the obtained images, illustration, and the creation of repeating patterns. The development was guided by principles of fractal geometry, the golden ratio, symmetry, and imitation of natural structures.
Seven different patterns were developed and printed on cotton fabric using a digital printer. In the final stage, the patterns were presented on textile and visualized through product simulations. They were analyzed in terms of color harmony, compositional effectiveness, and visual readability.
The results showed that incorporating structures from nature and applying design principles enables the development of aesthetically recognizable, conceptually grounded, and technically feasible patterns. The work opens up possibilities for further research in the fields of biomimicry, interpretation of natural phenomena in design, and the integration of scientific and creative approaches in textile design.
