To me, a tessellation is an image editing technique used to reflect an image and create pattern. Most tessellations result in a clean seamless image with a creative and unique appeal to the viewer. To create a tessellation piece, it will be easiest to start by downloading a photoshop template to guide your duplications of the original photo. Once you add your original piece, you must crop the image to a 1 x 1 square so it has equal dimensions. Then once you have a perfect square, you can resize the image to match the size of the template. The smaller the image, the more duplicates you are going to need.... Place your cropped and resized image onto the top left corner of the template and make sure the guide lines are around the perimeter of your piece. Once you have this, you can duplicate your original photo layer. You then need to click, "Edit > Transform > flip horizontal/vertical. As you progress, make sure all edges line up and are a complete reflection of your original image. The thing I enjoyed most about this project was getting to tamper with certain images and colors to make some unique designs. My favorite image was the tessellation that I created out of the tree because the colors, detail, and pattern came out completely unique. This project was simple and straight to the point, but I struggled with choosing photographs that would work the best for this project.
