Alberta Modern - Seeking interest

[OC Richard]

One of the problems with this design is that it breaks the traditional practice of how colours were used in proportion to each other.

This is interesting and I was wondering if you could elaborate.

The design has an ungainly look to my eye, and I think I know what it is, the motif (as opposed to the 'ground') having five stripes going narrow-medium-wide-medium-narrow in a simple stepwise size progression (ignoring the narrow dark lines which function visually as borders).

No changes in colours will overcome that.

To my eye the original as woven in the cap above appears a bit pale and not really suited for a kilt. The woven version in the jacket above appears stronger. Peter's WOB colours are stronger yet. None really appeal to me.

For my eye the CGI example from the tartan register, though a bit garish, has the best colours, and I think it would look softer and more integrated if woven.

It's an interesting design challenge, to see if one could come up with a selection of colours that makes the design work really well.
