"Flower Power" [Reflections On Book - 100 Ideas That Changed Graphic Design Stephen Heller and Veronique Vienne - # 27]

Designs from nature are the thing
Computers make to dredge-work bring
Into a managed work of art,
As borders, backgrounds, place to start.

Now mix of curlicues can meet
Straight lines and angles, taking sweet
And sentimental, so it’s not
So sticky-bun-ish – helps a lot.

The flower-children for a while
Mixed floral patterns with their wild
And woolly psychedelic life;
But life moved on past 60s strife.

Now floral has potential great –
Computer patterns generate
With ease – they take the intricate,
And spit out one’s certificate.

Thanks Lord for this.
