actually i did look it up before i replied earlier and saw the difference. most of the examples ive seen have a defined structure and order to them. its a lot easier to explain with a diagram so i traced over the shirt design.
okay class...^^ if you look at figure A. i traced over the right side with a blue stroke then rotated it and gave it a white stroke. thinking maybe yin yang for balance. nope, thats not how you guys did it. what you did was you flipped one side onto the other BUT you didnt flip the top and bottom boxes (figure B). normally, you would start at the center for tracing something like this but with no visible emerging pattern, i started from the outside going in.
next onto figure C. i coloured in the 36degree angled boxes to see what pattern you guys came up with. looks a bit off center? yep, i see 4 stars that might work as the center of the image but they werent used.
this is where it gets really rough. at figure D, ive roughly traced the only 5 decagons inside the graphic. here you can really see how disorganized it is. as far as i can tell, there are only 5 of them. if i missed one or two, its still not enough to balance the whole thing.
figure E is just perceptual. i traced the surfaces that drew my eye. these are the surfaces i felt were sticking out. purely subjective but still a valid opinion.
as conclusion, its still a valid penrose tile pattern even if its content has little symmetry to it, the outer shape is still visible but like i said earlier, it looks forced and disorganized compared to other existing patterns. i would prefer a balanced pattern since you are banking on phi or the golden ratio of proportions.
