Dahlia Pattern

Fall 2025 

Adobe Photoshop

For this project, I chose to focus on dahlias, one of my favorite flowers. Initially, I experimented with a more colorful design, but I later opted for a darker, grayscale palette to create a cohesive pattern that would complement my previous composition. The final piece is a composite of five different dahlia images. The most challenging part of this process was meticulously cutting out the flowers. I encountered a frustrating technical issue where I was working on the wrong image window, which caused a lot of confusion, but once I realized my mistake, the rest of the process was much smoother.
