Tribal/Ethnic

• Perhaps more appropriately termed World Cultures,
  using motifs and elements specific to a
  nationality or culture with a western
  interpretation.
• Popular areas of inspiration are Africa (Dashiki
  wear), India(Batic Print) and Arabia but also
  include the folk arts of Eastern Europe and South
  America.
• Care must be taken not to use motifs or symbols
  of a spiritual or special meaning to the culture
  being used as inspiration.

Paisley

• Stylized tear drop motif often with abstracted
  floral elements in accompaniment, now seen with
  various combinations of many types of fashion
  prints. 
• Paisley takes its modern name from the Scottish
  town which saw a great deal of production of
  these patterns in the 1800s.
• These motifs are now most recognisable as Indian
  or Middle Eastern from where its tradition is
  embedded.

Scenic/Pictorial

• Traditionally called a Toile de Jouy, uses
  figurative scenes of an illustrative quality (now
  more photographic) and often with a narrative and
  generally in a horizontal orientation.
• Traditionally printed in monochromatic colour on
  a plain white or ivory ground

5
Checks/Spots/Stripes

• Patterns of squares, circles and rectangles of
  varying size, color and orientation i.e.
  horizontal/vertical as well as edge definition.
• A broken or non symmetrical circle is still
  considered a spot

  motifs (but not limited to) of gold chains,
  jewels, animal skins and ornate scroll work often
  all in combination and in rich vibrant colors.
