Hispanic Culture was the main inspiration behind this textile design. Mexican and Spanish textiles were researched as well as colorful tile patterns. Several aspects of these patterns were then used and manipulated in the final layout. Other objects such as flowers and circular designs from tile were combined to create this unique, colorful pattern which creates a textile that seems to capture a Hispanic culture and vibe.
