# Islamic Geometric Pattern carries the structure. Pattern and Decoration appear as accents, each further back than the last.
# Style descriptors only. Never imitates a specific artist, studio, brand or work.

An original image that takes its structure from Islamic Geometric Pattern (Technique, 8th century–) and its accent from Pattern and Decoration (Style, 1975–1985). Structural cues: Compass construction; Star forms; Repeating units; Interlacing lines. Accent cues, used sparingly: Repeating pattern covering the whole surface; Quotation of quilts and textiles; Reference to non-Western ornament; All-over composition without borders. Composition: Derive the unit from the construction circle and size the field in whole units.. Type and lettering: If lettering enters, give it its own band and leave the grid intact.. Let one material quality come from the second style: Fabric, print or tile whose repeat is honest, the join left visible, with unrelated patterns allowed to meet.. Mood: Calm, Luxury, Trust, Play, Rebellion. Color: build on #e6d4a7, #3d7692, #6c4c38 with a single accent drawn from #e9e6dd, #67635d, #171615. Constraints: do not imitate, reference or name any specific artist, studio, brand, character or copyrighted work. Produce an original composition in the general period languages described above.

# Where the two fight
# - Both belong to Ornament, so the difference is small. Push the roles further apart than feels comfortable.
# - Roughly 1967 years apart. Keep one of them recognisably period rather than letting both drift into the middle.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Islamic Geometric Pattern: Star shapes pasted together without the construction leave lines that miss at the crossings, and the error multiplies when repeated. The Islamic world is not one culture, so check region, dynasty, material and use.
# - Pattern and Decoration: Quoting the patterns without checking where they came from drops the respect for handwork at its core and leaves a jumble. Framing a modernist white centre with pattern reinstates the hierarchy it overturned.
