What a beautiful tartan, Todd!
As an artist who studied design at university, it's interesting to me that though the name of this thread is "tartan design questions" not a single word has been written about tartan design.
Colours: warm, cool, tertiary, complimentary, saturation, etc etc.
Pattern: proportion, balance, consistency of scale, etc etc.
I think it's why I see so many recent tartans which are clumsy, simplistic, graphic-looking, etc.
Todd's above does everything well. It's fantastic.
