  1. I LOVE the geometry of this pattern. The color scheme is a little odd, but it works!

  2. I enjoy the color palette. I could see this pattern on snowboard jackets. The geometry relates to that I think.

  3. I really like how you're mixing the greens with the blues in this- definitely gives off a wintery feel. I really like your snowflakes, and I like the geometric background thing as well, though I'm not quite sure I like them together? Especially on the light blueish/white chunks, it seems to eat the snowflakes.

  5. Those geometrical hills are sensational, and while the gradient is cool, it unfortunately includes many variations of yellow, which would put you over your 12 color limit. I don't think you needed to make your snowflakes so detailed; the differentiation in colors make them look kind of odd from far away. Solid white would work great, in my opinion.

  6. Cool pattern. I like how the seasonal ora is still present even though the "traditional" colors are not being used so much. Nice job.

  7. Cole, this is super cool. I love what you've done with the mountains and I'm really glad you decided to make it more planar - and move the points around, it looks awesome and your color choices are great. It looks really dimensional and creates an awesome optical illusion. I actually really like the one without the snowflakes on it! Mabye because it can hold it's own as a pattern and you can really appreciate the details of color- against color.
    Additionally, i think your linework snowflake on white is great by itself, too. I could see you using these for liners of some sweet outerwear - like insides of jackets, or whatever. It's really nice and totally works with your theme. I think you totally got what you were going for. There are a couple small lines that are showing up between your mountain planes? Are those suppsed to be there? It's almost like I can see through them to the white of the artboard? I think it would be worth going in there and bumping those around a little. I also think it could be cool to see what your white snowflake would look like on a couple other colored grounds - maybe the teal? I think that one could be great shown in alternate colorways under your mountain pattern. Really nice work. Super cool.
