Design Inspired by Forms of Life
- The Islamic prayer mat is a representation of different forms of life composed together to create a form. This form plays on the visual value contrast creating a monochromatic display of form. Also, different types of life forms were used in the creation of this form namely, vines, flowers and Islamic infrastructures giving a birth to a design in Islamic Art.

Forms from Nature
- Personally I chose this form because of its composition and the beautiful blending of hue and the overall low saturation giving it a soft feeling and a close picture of the true forms from nature. The contrast between the low opacity background and the higher saturated image in the foreground establishes the single focal point of the form. Also, the focal point unleashes and shouts the idea of freedom giving the true meaning of forms from nature.
