Looking at different wallpaper styles i'm beginning to understand the limits of wallpapers, and how repeating patterns are continued from sheet to sheet.

I'm unsure as to whether I like wallpapers which use multiple colours, but I can definitely see why children would like them, as they're much more engaging and interesting. This led me to the idea of creating a wallpaper for children which is not only engaging but beneficial. Getting a child to eat healthily is incredibly difficult, but with the use of fun surroundings it may be easier to introduce the idea. 

I want to create a wallpaper which is bright, colourful, and most importantly interesting which showcases fruits and/or vegetables in a bid to make children believe healthy eating doesn't have to be boring.

Since kids study shapes, colour and numbers at school, I figured using a low poly aesthetic would be highly engaging, allowing them to count segments, see different shades of colours and see how shapes can form other shapes. After creating the low poly shapes in illustrator, I colourized them, by placing a photograph of the fruit behind it, using the colour picker to choose the colour and filling each segment.

Final product, using a drop down pattern. I felt like I needed more white space so I doubled the gap between the fruits.

I much prefer this now. The background is pure white, I'm not sure why when uploaded to blogger it becomes a light grey.
