Joaquim Nielsen

Joaquim Marqués Nielsen is a Danish graphic designer who caught my eye with some of his crazy geometric patterns. He started a little series called Triad which he started making these interesting little graphics around. He started with this first one, then got a little fancier with the second and third one, and then absolutely killed it with four, five and six. What you see above is Triad 04, and a tesselation (is that the right word?) of the pattern, which is absolutely gorgeous.

Joaquim uses an illustrator plug-in called SymmetryWorks which allows you to easily make patterns, it’s really a cool plug-in. He even has a section of his blog dedicated to the patterns he’s made which are a real treat to look through.
