My Inspiration from Design By Humans©
• The black spiral pentagons have a dilation scale factor of 5/3 from the central pentagon to the surrounding pentagons.
• The colored hexagons are reflected over one of their sides.
• Gradually the side of reflection moves clockwise (60° of the center of each hexagon) to allow the colored hexagons to tessellate.
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Start off with a white regular hexagon, with sides 0.5 inches long, on a blue background.
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Reflect the hexagon vertically so that the second hexagon is next to the first one.
• Translate the first hexagon 0.5 inches to the right to create the second hexagon.
B. Reflection or E. Translation
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Reflect the second hexagon over its top side so that it is directly above where it used to be.
• Translate the hexagon 0.5 inches up from where it was.
B. Reflection or E. Translation
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Translate the first and second hexagons 1 inch to the right to create the third and fourth hexagons.
E. Translation
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Translate the fourth hexagon 0.5 inches down, then 0.5 inches to the right.
E. Translation
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Reflect the pattern from the left half of the hexagon to the right, so that there are a total of 9 hexagons and the left side is symmetrical to the right side.
B. Reflection & D. Symmetry
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Reflect the design over the horizontal line of symmetry of the rectangle. There should now be 18 hexagons.
B. Reflection &D. Symmetry
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Place a white right triangle, with legs 1 inch long, in a way that makes it equidistant from the first hexagon and its corresponding hexagon if the triangle was used to create a parallelogram.
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Rotate the right triangle 90° clockwise of the midpoint of the hypotenuse, then translate 1 inch to the right.
C. Rotation & E. Translation
First Design: Geometric Winter
• Repeat the last step three more times. (Rotate the new right triangle 90° clockwise of the midpoint of its hypotenuse then translate the shape 1 inch to the right.)
C. Rotations & E. Translations
Second Design: Checkered X
• Start off with a red pentagon that is similar to an arrow in the upper-left mid-center of a grey background.
Second Design: Checkered X
• Rotate the pentagon 90° clockwise of the tip of the arrow, and make it now blue.
C. Rotation
Second Design: Checkered X
• Reflect the two pentagons horizontally over the line of symmetry formed by them, to add two additional pentagons that are green and yellow to create an “X”.
• Repeat the previous step two more times with the newest pentagon.
B. Reflection & D. Symmetry or C. Rotation
Second Design: Checkered X
• Place a black square with a side length of 1.18 inches in the upper left corner.
Second Design: Checkered X
• Dilate the square from its upper left corner with a scale factor of ½ to make the sides of a smaller grey square 0.59 inches.
A. Dilation
Second Design: Checkered X
• Translate the small grey square 0.59 inches down, the 0.59 inches to the right to create a second grey square.
E. Translation
