Wallpaper post (december's first). Oktyabrskaya-Koltsevaya Moscow Metro station wall cover.

Hi there! Fellow designer, are you here? Let's get to our dirty graphic design business and redesign the oktyabrskaya underground station wall covering to make it look more modern, happy and colorful.

Oktyabrskaya-Koltsevaya Moscow Metro station by Antares 610

Let's create some basic shapes to operate them, while creating our perfect new composition

Let's make them look more like real world objects -- add lighting, colors and volume

We've seen the grid on the original photo, but we don't want this grid to be there just because it is necessary to hold material, it's too obvious to be seen -- like pixel grid, while we operating vectors. Let's create grid more comfortable for our star-shaped basic form.

And align our pattern perfectly here.

We need more color! let's make our decorations colorful and plastic!

And here we go with the final image. You can do you own version, it shouldn't be your final version.
